With more than 1,200 faculty members, 7,900 staff and 27,000 students, UCI is the fourth-largest campus of the University of California system. Maintaining proper “defense in depth” security architecture against the rising number of new, complex, and elusive network-based attacks is a significant responsibility for UCI’s Network and Academic Computing Services (NACS) security group, Network Planning and Security.
