Educational institutions have unique risk profiles and compliance requirements that make them vulnerable to malicious attacks and inadvertent security breaches by unsophisticated users. With tens of thousands of devices and connections on campus and the growing popularity of distance education, educational institutions are extending the benefits of their services to more and more people across the globe every day. At the same time, they are more at risk than many other industries and must meet stringent audit and compliance standards.

The Challenge

Educational institutions require open networks in order to function and that in and of itself poses huge security challenges. On top of that, thousands of students, faculty, administrators, staff and vendors all working inside the network making it difficult to keep the good guys in and the bad guys out. In addition, educational institutions often have multiple IT centers making internal user controls difficult to centrally manage while auditing and compliance can be a real nightmare. With the rising cost of a college education and budget cutbacks, IT departments need more efficient and cost saving solutions that help them solve real world problems.
