Security Solutions for Higher Education

The large and often diverse networks found in colleges and universities present unique security challenges. Open networks need to be monitored broadly, while closed networks need to be tightly secured and scrutinized with laser focus. NitroSecurity provides simple, easy to use, and cost effective appliances that accomplish both tasks. With NitroView ESM, the industry's fastest Security Information and Event Management system, more information can be collected and analyzed, from more diverse devices, and at a larger scale.

With NitroGuard IPS, a strong defensive perimeter of Intrusion Detection (IDS) and Prevention (IPS), firewall, and anomaly detection can be established around secure administrative networks. In addition, NitroView DBM is a dedicated database monitoring appliance that can ensure the integrity of protected data, while NitroView ADM provides application layer data monitoring to help enforce application use policies in student dormitories, labs, common areas, and other open campus networks.

Integrating active security devices with security monitoring and event management enables educational institutions to:
