Vance County Schools Chooses Top Layer's IPS 5500 for Three Dimensional Network Protection

Overview As a result of the network assessment it was clear that the Vance County Schools (VCS) staff was technically very competent, but they needed a more efficient way to manage their systems and network. The identification and deployment of centralized tools to reduce technician travel and increase mean time-to-problem-resolution was a key ingredient to meeting growing user demands. In concert with the centralization thread, ENS presented a network and security management approach using Top Layer's IPS 5500, offering market-tested network protection, performance and reliability. By combining stateful firewall, content-based intrusion prevention/ intrusion detection and attack mitigation algorithms, the IPS 5500 offered VCS three dimensional protection against undesired access, malicious content and rate-based attacks.
