Protect the Resources of K-12 Education Communities
With 3Com solutions, schools can economically enhance physical security. Networked IP surveillance cameras can be deployed for twenty-four hour monitoring of schools and campuses. 3Com IP phones, available with a broad range of features to meet various budgets, can speed E911 and other help responses when made available in classrooms. 3Com IP telephony applications can support systems that record and pass malicious call information to authorities to facilitate prompt and effective actions. Because networks are only as secure as their weakest access link, protection in 3Com networks is fully integrated into all components and standards-based for flexible implementation and cost-effective scalability. To secure data resources, 3Com networks—whether wired or wireless—provide advanced access and encryption solutions to control information availability and prevent unwanted network intrusions. Administrators, staff, and students and their families can enjoy high-speed connectivity, optimized bandwidth, and leading-edge protection. Since the sophistication and speed of network threats is increasing, protection must be proactive rather than reactive. A 3Com TippingPoint™ Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) can operate at wire speed, examining all packets and identifying frivolous or unwanted traffic. With Quarantine Protection, it automatically blocks malicious traffic, informing the user of device infection and quarantining the device for remediation. Supported by intelligent 3Com switches, it can help avoid potential damage. 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.
