About this talk

IT consolidation towards a single infrastructure management organization is an increasing trend within the Higher Education space. As Colleges and Universities move to undertake these centralization activities, concerns are raised by the central IT Operations, Networking, and Security teams over the lack of insight into the systems and environments to be "acquired." With partial asset lists and little to no visibility there is incomplete understanding of how the risk profile of Central IT will change or the lift associated with bringing the onboarded unit to existing organizational or regulatory compliance standards. This webinar will explore various challenges associated with centralization within Higher Ed and how Forescout helps centralized IT organizations achieve complete visibility and a contextual understanding of all assets and devices, ensuring they get a handle on the environments they’ll be onboarding; ultimately mitigating risks they instantly face when they take over operational responsibility.
