52% of current network management
solutions have DNS provisioning
capabilities and can provide remote
network access control.
“As higher education institutions embrace
Digital Transformation and users become
more device reliant, their networks have
become more complex and difficult to
manage,” said Infoblox CTO of Field
Engineering, Victor Danevich. “With
this complexity, networks become more
volatile and vulnerable to cyberattack if
proper network security measures are not
in place.”
Intelligence to identify common malicious
actors and prevent future attacks.
Additionally, implementing Single Sign
On with two-factor authentication for all
systems accessed by students can address the
password challenges by enforcing password
changes, validating identity, and providing
the ability to quickly disable accounts when
issues arise.

IT professionals are facing challenges
that their peers in business enterprise

an attempt to protect their users and
their schools.
“In an era where all entities must protect
personal user data and intellectual
property, learning institutions appear
underprepared and to be taking
unnecessary risks. They have some of the
most challenging network scenarios in
the world and need world-class tools to
help them meet the mounting threats.
Higher education institutions need to
gain full visibility into all connected
devices to prevent unwanted network
threats. Intelligent DNS security
solutions can help detect vulnerabilities
by identifying unusual and potentially
malicious network activity and provide
deeper control at the infrastructure level. Infoblox has been able to provide the
network infrastructure higher education
institutions need to be successful.
Antivirus solutions are not enough,
colleges and universities need network
monitoring solutions that leverage
