NIHnet Internet URL Filtering Maintenance
(1/30/2009 4:30:07 AM)
Event Details:
On Tuesday, February 10, 2009 at 9:00am - 10:00am EDT NIHnet engineers will convert NIHnet over to new web filtering architecture to better support the existing NIH security policy "Limited Authorized Personal Use of NIH Information Technology (IT) Resources Policy and other HHS standards."

Impact:
Please note this NIHnet Internet URL Filtering Maintenance activity has been assessed with a Possible Service Affecting - Low (PSA-Low) impact. Specifically, the new filtering architecture will not have any impact on the existing filtering policy but as a noticeable difference, the client IP address will be preserved as it traverses the Internet. In addition, this change will align web security practices with how NIH secures other forms of Internet traffic.
