    Like many universities, in 2017 UC <redacted>'s Internet border was largely open. The end-of-life intrusion prevention system (IPS), our only protection beyond a few router access control lists, was removed when it failed. There was very little to distinguish our campus network from the Internet. We had limited ability to implement east-west controls between campus departments, mostly through router ACLs and distributed firewalls.

    This presentation will trace the path that we took from this beginning to functional—
