WHAT:
|
|
|
|
|
|
With more than 35,000 IT users, Vanderbilt operates more like a
small city than a university. Protecting its networks, users and
assets against cyber-threats while balancing the needs of various
constituents is a formidable challenge. In this session, Salvador
will explain why he selected the Umbrella by OpenDNS cloud security
service to provide flexible, transparent protection against malware,
botnet and phishing attacks on campus. He and David will discuss how
Umbrella's cloud delivery model and predictive security techniques
have dramatically reduced infections at Vanderbilt. This in-depth
case study will also cover:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-- How the Umbrella service protects any device, anywhere with no
appliances to manage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-- How predictive security intelligence is used to detect and block
malware, botnets and phishing attacks
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-- How Umbrella delivers always-on security and 100% uptime with no
latency, and can be managed by a single IT resource
