When an agency desires to connect its network to any other third party network or its network becomes a segment on a larger network, controls shall be in place to prevent access by users from other connected networks to sensitive areas of the agency's private network. Such connection must first be approved by the agency CIO. Firewalls or other agency approved technologies shall be implemented to control access to secured resources on the trusted agency network. If any such third party network connections are contemplated, the agency CIO must first approve and receive approval from the state CIO.
