ForeScout Technologies, Inc., policy management solutions has announced that Sutton Valence School (SVS) has deployed a CounterACT(TM) NAC appliance across its campus network to ensure compliance and protect against self-propagating threats. SVS is now using the ForeScout CT-1000 appliance to protect 1,000 on-campus devices. Sutton Valence has recently opened a new presentation theatre on campus. Though the theatre is a wonderful asset for the school, it brings additional security risks when guest speakers plug-in their laptops and require network access. ForeScout’s CT-1000 protects against these types of threats, helping to optimize uptime and availability of the school’s network.
