Protecting university networks: reducing cyberattack risks and simplifying IT management
Universities face tough IT challenges, from managing numerous computer labs and ensuring consistent system performance, to safeguarding sensitive data and optimising limited budgets. IT teams are often stretched thin, dealing with frequent software issues, malware threats, and hardware malfunctions. Ensuring that students and faculty have reliable and secure access to technology is a daunting task that requires efficient and effective solutions.
Streamlined IT Maintenance
Managing tens of computer labs and thousands of devices across dispersed campuses can be extremely difficult. Faronics Cloud Deep Freeze simplifies this, by enabling automated and remote management of system updates and maintenance tasks. Scheduling maintenance during off-hours ensures minimal disruption to users, allowing IT staff to focus on strategic projects rather than routine upkeep. This streamlined process saves a massive amount of time and resource, enhancing overall operational efficiency.
Enhanced System Security
Security is paramount in educational environments where protecting sensitive data is critical, especially in an era of scarier, more frequent cyberattacks. Deep Freeze’s ‘reboot to restore’ functionality ensures that any changes made to a system are temporary, restoring computers to their original state upon reboot. This unique tool protects systems from malware, unauthorised software installations, and accidental changes. At universities all over the world, this capability has safeguarded both university data and personal information, providing a secure and consistent environment for every user.
Cost-Effective Solutions
Budget constraints are a common issue for educational institutions. Deep Freeze contributes to significant cost savings by extending the life of existing hardware. With systems consistently maintained in optimal condition, universities experience fewer hardware failures and reduce the need for frequent replacements. These savings allow for better allocation of financial resources across other essential areas.
Faronics Cloud Deep Freeze boosts your security and saves you time and money in several other ways:
- Total automation of software deployment
- Cloud based asset management
- Customisation of endpoints into kiosks
- Very easy imaging
- Anti-executable to stay protected against advanced threats.
Improved User Experience
Reliable and available technology is crucial for students and faculty. Deep Freeze ensures that devices are always in pristine condition, minimising downtime and providing a seamless experience for users. This reliability allows students and faculty to focus on their academic and administrative tasks without technical interruptions, enhancing the overall educational experience.
Faronics Cloud Deep Freeze offers universities a comprehensive solution for IT management. By streamlining maintenance, enhancing security, reducing costs, and improving user experience, it’s an invaluable solution for universities aiming to optimise their technological infrastructure.
