Education
Maintain Security, Privacy and Compliance to Facilitate Learning
For schools, universities and other educational institutions, Forescout simplifies network access control, policy enforcement and segmentation for the most complex networks where students, faculty, staff and research colleagues continuously move on and off the network, whether they are on campus, learning remotely or conducting research around the world.
Cybersecurity in Education Capabilities
Students, faculty and staff are highly mobile and ultra-connected, using multiple devices to access learning materials, research and faculty. Additionally, campuses have an array of IoT devices (IP cameras, smart monitors, lab equipment, physical security, etc.) that must be maintained and monitored. The Forescout Platform effectively manages risks across your educational ecosystem by:
Orchestrating and automating
Enforce device and segmentation policies across disparate security tools
Providing complete visibility
Visibility into unmanaged and managed devices, IoT and any IP-connected systems such as security cameras, vending machines, lab equipment, access points and more
Assessing and identifying devices
A focus on factory-default or weak credentials and automating policy actions to enforce strong passwords
Providing real-time insight
Insight into device or user traffic and risky behavior.
Segmenting devices into trusted zones
Enforcing zero trust/least-privilege policies.
