The implementation of the project: "Supply of equipment and systems for the upgrade of the network infrastructure and ensuring the business continuity of the Ionian University" was undertaken by Space Hellas following an international tender.

According to the relevant announcement, the project includes the modernization of the Ionian University's infrastructure and the adoption of appropriate technical measures to mitigate the risk of breach or destruction of its information systems and data, while at the same time aiming to implement a plan to ensure its business continuity.

Space Hellas has undertaken the supply, installation, configuration and commissioning of a new modular server array and the necessary suite of cloud infrastructure applications (VMware), two new storage systems and two new integrated backup systems. The above solutions are implemented with products from the manufacturer Dell Technologies and ensure the continuation of the University's business operations.

To further protect the data of the Ionian University, Space Hellas has chosen:

• the installation of security devices (firewalls and UTMs) in all sites of the academic institution, including the Central Management Console
• The integrated Network Access Control (NAC) solution for controlling user and device access to the University's resources, as well as the necessary user access permissions via virtual private networks (VPN) for secure remote access
• the integrated Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) solution for greater assurance of remote user access
• the Endpoint Security Solution (Endpoint Security Solution) and its protection against malware; and
  the comprehensive security solution for users' email accounts (Email Security).

In addition to being a secure DNS provider, it provides a first line of defence against online digital threats. The technological solution of holistic approach to cybersecurity at the Ionian University is implemented with products and services of the manufacturer, Cisco.
