FSUSecure, the Future of FSU Cybersecurity

If you look back in time at the history of FSU’s technologies, cybersecurity was not an issue ten to fifteen years ago. However, as time has progressed, there are various changes that have taken place in the technological landscape. One of these changes is the emphasis on cybersecurity and the importance of a user’s personal data. In response to this change, FSU ITS is announcing the discontinuation of the FSUGuest Wi-Fi network for FSU students, faculty, and staff effective December 15, 2021. But don’t wait until then to make the change.  Log-in to the FSUSecure network now and it will automatically save your data for each future log-in.  

Starting December 15, 2021, an FSUID will no longer be accepted on FSUGuest and users will be required to log in to the FSUSecure network. Guests will still have the ability to use the FSUGuest network by successfully registering their phone number with ITS.  

The transition from FSUGuest to FSUSecure is for the safety of FSU users. The original FSUGuest network is unencrypted, is subject to eavesdropping, and does not grant access to the internal FSU network. In contrast, FSUSecure is a secure, encrypted network that provides access to internal resources on the FSU network. The use of FSUSecure also allows ITS to understand which services users are accessing and it helps streamline the process for troubleshooting and reporting. We look forward to seeing you on FSUSecure soon!
