| Protect critical information
|
|
Increasing the networking capabilities of your institution can reap many benefits. It can also leave your systems vulnerable to risk. Viruses, worms and Internet attacks can cause significant IT infrastructure damage and loss of productivity. Moreover, schools and higher education institutions are facing legislative requirements to implement comprehensive security identity and compliance systems and to publicly report any break-ins.

| Secure your networks on three points
|
The integrated security for Cisco networks from IBM begins with an evaluation by our networking security experts to identify specific issues. A solution may focus on protecting your systems in one or more the following ways. -
Verification of identities for network access
-
Device security compliance checking for network access
-
Remediation of non-compliant devices
You can then work with our experts to implement one, two or all three of these steps based on your specific security objectives.

| Benefit from a complete IBM and Cisco solution
|
IBM and Cisco Systems can help address security exposures in two key areas. -
Managing the identities of users who connect to the institution
-
Supervising the condition of a device connecting to the network
Grant access to cleared users, systems or devices that want to engage your institution, while protecting your organization from unauthorized access to your IT infrastructure. Our solution also can help protect the network from devices which may be corrupted and could infect other parts of the installed systems.
With our tools and expertise your organization can potentially: -
Improve the process of managing and identifying users on the network.
-
Speed responses to internal audits and regulatory mandates for security.
-
Help ensure security and consistent policies on your networks by centralizing control and protecting local autonomy.
-
Prevent the loss of valuable information and intellectual capital.
-
Enhance network security by allowing detection of a computer’s software state and comparing it to management policies before granting access to certain network resources.
-
Boost productivity by reducing errors and automating routine administration tasks.
