Securing the Mobility Powered Campus: Infographic

Previously, IT security conversations in higher education focused on the need to prevent outside cyberattacks. Now, with more students and staff on mobile devices and the Internet of Things growing exponentially, the attack vectors are just as likely to surface within the network — whether users know it or not. Here’s what Campus Technology learned when we asked IT, security and other campus experts about how they view their IT security capabilities, including security monitoring, threat awareness and detection and user training.


Secure the Mobility-Driven Campus: Your Best Defense, Is Offense!: Executive Summary

Cybersecurity challenges on campus are rapidly evolving. The increasing level of sophistication and frequency of attacks, a vanishing perimeter, a mobility-everywhere preference and the growing proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) make for a huge attack surface on campus these days. The greater transparency and openness of the typical college or university, not to mention, a social and trusting student user group, also make education a ripe target for attack.


The Security Challenges of IoT: White Paper

Colleges and universities are certainly familiar with the Internet of Things (IoT). Although IoT provides many opportunities from greater potential in teaching and learning to enhancing security systems or climate controls, if campus IT doesn't work out the security issues, none of this matters. Download this informative GameChanger to learn how many colleges and universities are combatting this growing security issue.


Many Paths to the Cloud: White Paper

A growing number of colleges and universities are turning to the cloud to host critical business and research applications. Moving to the cloud helps higher education institutions operate with great agility, take advantage of emerging technologies, and use scalable on-demand computing power to drive cutting-edge education.


NetApp, Citrix and Cisco cordially invite you to be a part of the discussions as today’s technologies give birth to a powerfully flexible, anytime, anywhere environment that allows students and faculty to advance their educational experiences to the next level.
Imagine a simpler, faster, more secure way to access and share information. One that enables virtual access, leverages the latest in mobile devices, adapts to changes as fast as necessary, transforms traditional desktop computing and easily scales to handle growth.

  • Thin Client Computing PDF screen shot

    While minimalism in computing has been around since the 1990s, the concept only recently has hit its stride: Computer devices that only carry out essential applications, or "thin clients", have a longer operational life span, cut energy use and are less expensive to purchase and maintain. As the phenomenon of software as a service gains traction, in fact, thin clients are already replacing desktop PCs in many government, commercial and educational settings.
