Universities were the first enterprises to take on Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) security challenges as these organizations support university-managed systems, as well as a diverse range of unmanaged student devices. By their very nature, education networks are more open and susceptible to malware, unauthorized access, data leakage, breaches and availability risks. In this article, the author discusses how network access control solutions can help the educational institutions gain operational intelligence and policy-based control for all devices, users, systems and applications attempting to connect to an enterprise network – wired or wireless, managed or unmanaged, PC or mobile in a seamless manner to achieve continuous monitoring and mitigation of all endpoints while upholding end user experience and infrastructure integrity.
