The Challenge
Securing the Open Campus
University IT teams are often outnumbered. They must support diverse environments—from research labs requiring high-speed throughput to dorms requiring strict access controls—often with legacy equipment.
The rapid onboarding of new students and devices every semester creates a 'configuration drift' nightmare, where unauthorized changes by student workers or contractors can go unnoticed until they cause an outage.
