The ConSentry solution provides malware control, increases IT’s visibility into what users are doing on the university’s LAN, enables IT to restrict LAN access to only authorized users, and records a full audit trail of all user activity.
The university’s biggest problems were the continual exposure to malware and the lack of visibility into what users were doing on the LAN. Student-owned PCs, for example, would frequently release trojans, spyware, denial of service attacks, and address resolution protocol storms. The FSU IT team also struggled to enable open access to the Internet without leaving the university vulnerable if users downloaded copyrighted material or did other illegal activities.
