Protect College and University Campus Resources
Cutting-edge security challenges demand the most advanced solutions. 3Com® secure converged networks deliver award-winning responses to network-threatening challenges. A 3Com TippingPoint™ Instrusion Prevention System (IPS) is an inline appliance that can be installed anywhere it is needed on a network. With automatic and transparent actions, it can operate at wire speed, examining all packets and identifying frivolous or unwanted traffic. With Quarantine Protection, the solution automatically blocks malicious traffic, informing the user of device infection and quarantining the device for remediation. Supported by intelligent 3Com switches, likely damage can be avoided. And since dangers from Trojans, worms, virus, and Denial of Service attacks continually evolve, 3Com security solutions include the TippingPoint Digital Vaccine® Service that provides preemptive and automatic updates and protections against the latest network vulnerabilities. The TippingPoint IPS solution provides traditional firewall functions as well as enhanced services such as bandwidth management that can actually improve network performance. The solution also offers virtual private networks for secure, converged multisite connectivity as well as web content filtering for implementing college or university security policies.

Colleges and universities are in the direct path of the “perfect storm” for network security disruptions. Their users are technically savvy. Their performance requirements demand 24/7 availability. Their network-based delivery of basic and essential information and services calls for 100% network reliability. Academic and recreational activities on the network necessitate enormous bandwidth. And the vulnerabilities that endanger fulfilling these requirements are both internal and external in their nature.
