Education IT Professionals Face Unique Challenges
Managing a wide-open IT environment that is continuously granting access to unknown computers and websites can present a number of security challenges, including:
-
Defending your systems against sophisticated cyber-attacks and malware intended to steal data such as social security numbers
-
Controlling access to your network endpoints
-
Protecting researchers from drive-by attacks on websites they visit
-
Preventing attempts to steal or compromise your research data
-
Avoiding violations of regulatory requirements such as PCI or HIPAA
How BOUNCER Can Help You
BOUNCER application whitelisting locks down your most sensitive endpoints so you can stop targeted malware attacks and other threats from executing on your network regardless of how the malicious code entered your system. If an unauthorized application is not on the whitelist, it does not run. As a result, BOUNCER helps you:
-
Protect research and sensitive student data against custom malware
-
Prevent all unmanaged or unauthorized configuration changes—even from users with local administrator rights
-
Reduce the number and frequency of security patch implementations
-
Automatically update the whitelist for authorized changes like new applications and upgrades
