The Challenges
Educational institutions' networks contain confidential information for thousands of past and present students and employees, which is at risk of being compromised by a malware infection in the network. Thousands of students with busy schedules connect to the network with their computers and don't have the time or motivation to make the updates requested by IT. With the budget cuts that many schools have faced recently, IT teams need streamlined solutions that are economical as well. They need to protect the network against threats that may be present on any of those end computers, which involves creating lists of approved antivirus applications, helping students and faculty switch to those applications, and detecting threats entering through emails and file uploads.
The Solutions
OPSWAT technologies provide ideal solutions for each of these challenges faced by today's educational institutions. AppRemover lets IT enforce the uninstallation of old security applications so that new ones can be installed on all student and faculty computers. Metascan provides protection for email and file upload servers by scanning incoming files with multiple antivirus engines to increase assurance that malware is not allowed to enter the network. Many universities also utilize Metascan to facilitate malware research for computer science departments.
Universities that choose network solutions from Juniper, Cisco, and others to allow students and faculty to access protected resources can specify a list of approved antivirus applications by choosing OPSWAT Certified applications. These applications will be compatible with the university's network solution, and OPSWAT's video also helps explain to students why they should use antivirus applications from this list, so that fewer questions are directed to the computer help desk.
