Network security has become a growing challenge in industry and education. With the increase of viruses, spam, hackers, and identity theft, organizations are beginning to look at areas to improve the protection of their Information Technology structure. Higher Education has the highest vulnerability to network security threats, especially the two-year institutions. Computer labs within institutions of higher learning are often known for their open or ease of access. Open labs, limited staff and resources hinder security measures for these institutions.
