HP and Microsoft Security

With the widespread adoption of open standards, and the pervasiveness of Microsoft solutions in education, administrators are highly aware of the ever-present potential for compromised security. In response, HP 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.

HP 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.

A secure environment in academia is a must. This provides the confidence that is necessary to promote the many levels of communication and collaboration required between: faculty and staff, parents and teachers in K-12, professors and students in higher education, and across campuses and departments. The integrity of sophisticated research projects is at stake, as well.

To provide this safe environment HP and our partners provide administrators with improved, more affordable solutions for managing Microsoft environments, such as:

• Security patch management
• Authentication
• Identity and access management
• Host hardening
• Directory consolidation
