The University is following advice from the National Cyber Security Centre and is temporarily restricting access to a number of web services until systems can be secured. This is the same approach being taken by many other organisations.
If you are working from off campus, and you are unable to access a University web service, you will need use the University VPN client to gain access for a period of time, instructions can be found on the IT Services website.
We will update the IT Services Service Availability page as we get more information.
