Introduction: This project is being set up in order to protect the networks, whilst at the same time allowing necessary access. The project is looking at standardising remote access to the SSE data network taking into account all of the latest IT Security policies and procedures, and by having the solution penetration tested, it will demonstrate the level of cyber security that has been achieved so that the results can be presented to IT Security for approval. Following the approval of the IT Security Manager, then the solution will be available for R&D project managers to incorporate into their project plans to accommodate current and future requests from 3rd parties.

Objectives: Ensuring secure access to the data network such that exposure to cyber attack is minimised.
