Miami-Dade School District Pinpoints Vulnerabilities, Increases Network Security and Availability, Improves Productivity
Overview In the network security realm, being bigger does not necessarily mean better. It can mean increased exposure. In the case of Miami-Dade County Public Schools, the fourth largest U.S. school district, the District network draws hackers from around the world. Still more vulnerabilities arise from the network's 400,000 authorized users. Off late, the network experienced frequent Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, applications performance delays and downtime that lasted for hours. Although it used firewalls and intrusion detection systems, anti-virus and content filtering software and a variety of management tools, the security was insufficient. Some big ideas from the District's small Network Services department - and a two-inch-tall 3Com technology platform - solved the problem.
