Higher education institutions must balance academic openness with protecting the personal information and intellectual property of staff and students. It’s another balancing act to maintain continuous, high-bandwidth access to resources while blocking threats and intrusions that could damage the institution’s reputation. Palo Alto Networks® meets the security needs of higher education institutions by automatically preventing cyberthreats across cloud, network and endpoint devices at network speeds, as well as keeping sensitive data safe by administering granular security policies based on users, applications and content.
