Why is this being done:

A firewall has been installed to protect the PMA network from the rest of the campus and the world. The goal is to decrease the number of exposed vulnerabilities on the PMA network. This increased security will cut down on the number of ISO quarantines about services listening on the network and prevent devices from being blocked on the network. Over the next five years, we will work with building tenants to move them to a new scalable network to align the building with the rest of campus centralization efforts.
