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.
