"Providing access to university PCs is necessary to help students prepare for success in today's technology-driven world. However, each workstation must represent a safe environment that protects both the student and the university's computers. Lumension Endpoint Security is the perfect solution because it enables the use of any technology that promotes learning while preventing unwanted malicious codes, programs or unauthorized removable storage media from working on our PCs. Lumension Endpoint Security also helps us comply with a state law that requires universities to document who installed every piece of software that resides on university computers. Because the IT staff has to approve all applications, and Lumension Endpoint Security logs all modifications to the whitelist, I can easily provide this information."

"Our Lumension Endpoint Security deployment was seamless and we've been extremely impressed with the product's ease-of-use. We've been able to save a tremendous amount of our IT administrators' time and resources as they no longer need to deal with USB access problems. Administrators are able to focus their time on solving other IT issues, thereby saving money for the company in IT man hours.

"Now we don't need to have administrators checking workstations for unauthorized devices all of the time. We only need one administrator to monitor usage, and he can do it all from his desktop at any time of the day.

"The differences between solutions that use a blacklist versus those that use a whitelist are tremendous. The anti-virus and other blacklisting solutions are controlled by a third party but we are able to completely control the whitelist of allowed executables. Also, a blacklist can never be complete because of the myriad of new viruses being introduced every day. A complete whitelist is easy to construct, and it only changes when we need it to."
- Brent Rickels, VP Technology, First National Bank of Bosque County
