Board approves new district firewall after reported breach
Summary
Following a recent breach and concerns about an aging system, Fairfield ISD approved purchasing a new firewall from ESC Region 12; the motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Thill told the board the district needs a new firewall because the existing device is aged and had experienced a recent security breach. The board approved purchasing a firewall system from ESC Region 12 in a motion by Kim Whitaker, seconded by Jeff Wright; the vote was 7–0.
Board documents on the agenda described the purchase as a security priority; staff will work with ESC Region 12 to procure and install the replacement system as part of district IT infrastructure upgrades.
