Student Remote Registration
During spring 2010, Khipu worked with the University’s team and expanded the Adaptive Network Security offering. The University can now provide the following services to its students, staff and visitors.
Student Remote Registration – June 2010; Integrated with the University’s on-line registration system, this enables students to register and scan their devices during the vacation periods. If their device fails the ‘client-less’ posture check, a link is provided to download the appropriate software and get up to date with Anti-Virus / Anti-Spyware applications, OS updates etc. Once successfully passing the check, the Bradford system will automatically provide the users with network access when they arrive at the University. With around 20% (1500) of their student population 'pre-registering' using this service, has made the enhancement a huge success.
“We are constantly reviewing ways enhancing security without affecting the users’ experience on our networks. The quicker our students can get on line, the quicker they can access resources and feel like they are using their home broadband service. The remote registration service will not only improve the overall experience for the students and our IT support team, it will also encourage our user base to keep their devices up to
Sydney date with the appropriate security protection”. Darren Wheatcroft, Senior Systems Developer
