Colleges and universities must serve the needs of highly mobile, ultra-connected students who use multiple devices each day. In addition, they must provide faculty and staff with secure, 24×7 network access while accommodating growing numbers of IoT devices.
Forescout addresses these challenges while helping to maintain regulatory compliance and defending against increasing numbers of cyberthreats.
“With Forescout, our need to reimage infected computers dropped from 20 or 25 each month to just 1.5. When you consider staff resources and user downtime, that’s a 240- to 300-hour productivity gain each month.”
“With FireEye and Forescout, we know the details, security posture and activity of all devices on our network, and we can automatically isolate violations, malware and affected systems before anything gets out of hand.”

“CounterACT maximises our network security, has already saved us time — which equates to money — and helps us to mitigate potential security breaches. In the future, we plan on implementing most of its features.” — Steve Banyard, Network Manager, Norwich School
