Protecting Academic data on student and staff computers
Check Point provide a unique solution to protect the data on laptops and desktops. The Check Point FDE is a commercial solution that supports Windows, Mac and Linux platforms. Accompanied by ME it enables the universities to offer convenient and unified and simplified solution to protect student and staff academic information
Application Awareness is the key to identify and classify how the university networks are used
While the university networks offers free and un-regulated access to internet resources and applications for academic use it needs to ensure that student and staff are not misusing the network for personal non academic and potentially illegal activity such as facebook photo uploads, downloading of copyright content, etc. The first step to regaining control is to have systems that can analyse, classify and report on the specific application usage.
