Higher education institutions have a moral as well as legal responsibility to protect the sensitive data maintained on campus computers. Higher education institutions are beginning to look at areas to improve the protection of their information technology structure due to the increase of viruses, spam, hackers, and identity theft. The main goal of this paper is to study network security in university. The result shows the genuine exposure, the risk of being effectively compromised is real. Consequently, this network trap should be closely monitored and data control mechanisms, such as a reverse firewall, should be configured to prevent an attacker from using the network trap to damage other production resources.
