Enhancing Cybersecurity in Educational Institutions: A Case Study of Jacksonville University

Juniper Networks

Technology Category	Cybersecurity & Privacy - Intrusion Detection
Applicable Industries	Cement Equipment & Machinery
Use Cases	Smart Campus Tamper Detection
Challenge	Jacksonville University, a prominent educational institution, was facing significant cybersecurity challenges. The university was struggling with advanced threats hiding in web, email, and lateral spread traffic. The existing infrastructure was not robust enough to detect and counter these threats effectively. The university needed a solution that could easily integrate with the existing infrastructure and adapt to newly discovered threats by updating security policies to strengthen in-line tools. The university was also looking for a solution that could provide additional intelligence around potential threats and improve the productivity of their Incident Response team. Read More
