Endpoint Security & Management for Higher Education

The IT landscape for organizations within Higher Education is unique. Administratively, facility-owned assets contain enrollment and personal student information for which you are ultimately responsible. Additional devices are provided for classroom and lab work. And then there are student-owned devices that represent an entirely different challenge.

If your IT assets are not safe, neither is the reputation of your school. So how do you maintain control over such a vast and ever-changing environment?

Absolute Software has been providing organizations within higher education with solutions to manage and secure IT endpoints (and the data they contain) since 1993:

  • Computrace products for endpoint security allows you to respond if a device is missing or stolen, if data is breached or compromised, or if the status of a device is unknown – safeguarding student information and allowing you to comply with regional, state, and federal regulations.

  • Absolute Manage for endpoint management allows you to maintain the health of each device in your deployment so you can prevent the spread of viruses, external attacks, forbidden applications, over-installed software, and other conditions that can result in non-compliance.
