Confidential Data Tier 

This tier is a physical Unified Threat Management firewall cluster dedicated for Cornell use (Sonicwall). It provides for intrusion detection/intrusion prevention, anti-malware, content/URL filtering, application intelligence and control services, and native VPN capabilities. This tier allows for PCI/HIPAA level compliance and covers Cornell internal security requirements for confidential data.
