LITS staff have made great progress on rebuilding our Ivanti VPN. We are now awaiting next steps from the vendor.
We don’t have an estimate yet as to when service will be restored, but we will keep you updated as we learn more.
LITS disabled the VPN on Friday, February 2, at 11:59pm.
CISA has issued an alert for a zero-day vulnerability in the Ivanti VPN and the recommendation is to take down the service today.
Students can still access College software from a campus lab computer or Apporto. Office 365 and Moodle are unaffected.
We are currently uncertain how long VPN service will be unavailable. Many organizations worldwide are affected by this issue. Responses are evolving quickly and we will share more information as it becomes available. LITS is taking steps now to source expert assistance to help us reinstate service as quickly as possible.
