The firewall is responsible for the restriction of services so that vulnerable and sensitive services are only available to the extent that is permitted by the security policy.

In order to enforce this concept, the IT Center runs a high performance firewall on the internet uplink that regulates the availability of the most important worldwide internet services binary (yes/no).
