With a mix of network and security solutions, Pepperdine was like many universities seeking to secure access to its campus network. A combination of “home-grown” solutions coupled with an array of legacy Cisco switches meant that the right network access management solution had to fit in with existing infrastructure.  In addition, they needed automation capabilities that would ease the overload of configuration issues, new user requests, and questions that burdened the IT staff during the influx of students each semester. An additional requirement was that the solution work seamlessly across wired and wireless network connections, and on all campuses.

 

Pepperdine University was looking for a best-in-class network security solution that would control network access across multiple campuses. What they found with Bradford Networks was an Adaptive Network Security solution that dynamically adapts to their security needs and makes the University network both more secure and more accessible.
