With the widespread adoption of open standards, administrators are highly aware of the ever-present potential for compromised security. In response, Netfast and our partners are deploying robust, sustainable protection for educational institutions. The goal is to ensure that people can collaborate and exchange data freely on secure systems, protected against intrusion and interruption.
Netfast is helping schools, colleges and universities avert problems created by such things as non-authorized access, students hacking and the malicious or accidental introduction of viruses from non-secure sites. New threats to the integrity of vital data and applications appear almost daily. Administrators are highly sensitive to the need to protect vital information, including academic and, health records, personal identification and research data. Faculty and students want to maintain the confidentiality of their projects and collaborate within a trustworthy environment.
To provide this safe environment Netfast and our partners provide administrators with improved, more affordable solutions for managing Networking and IT environments, such as:
