The updates to the ASU wired network include implementing a new authentication process. This new authentication process will require users to register their devices the first time they attempt to access the ASU network when connected via an Ethernet cable (a physically connected wired connection). The process is very similar to what was implemented on ASU wireless connections last year.

ASU is improving the security of its wired network by increasing network security segmentation. This network security segmentation makes firewall separation required for different portions of the network. This means "subnetworks" are dedicated to specific kinds of devices and information, which results in improved performance and more secure subnetworks.
Annual improvements designed to enhance the security, reliability, and stability of the ASU wireless network are made continuously. Major upgrades are implemented during semester breaks. To simplify the ASU network and enhance safety for all users, "ASU" is encrypted and "ASU Guest" requires registration and is not encrypted.
