02 · 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.
Small IT teams supporting large campus networks
High turnover of student devices & users
Budget constraints requiring high-value tooling
Compliance with FERPA and internal usage policies
