senior citizens offering the NIC "Gold Card" and/or to be added to

the job placement rate and salary information of NIC

PHYSICAL RESOURCES |

Advance the campus infrastructure with regards to technology and
safety. |
1. Improve
network security. |
Improved
network and systems security via consultation, best practice
adoption, software acquisition and standards creation. |
The IDS/IPS
budgeted for the FY09 year will not be acquired due to budget
holdbacks to the State of Idaho. No work on the purchase has been
done. The security improvements to the college’s central router did
take place in October 2008. This will improve reliability and
features. IT Project FY09-14 is on hold and will be re-established
when funding permits. Federal stimulus funding may be used for this
critical need in FY2011. |
