Together they will have received £49,500 from the CHSA by the end of their studies.

2) Boundary firewalls and internet gateways - providing a basic level of protection where an organisation connects to the internet.
3) Access control and administrative privilege management - protecting user accounts and helping prevent misuse of privileged accounts.
