K7 Enterprise Security Selected By Kent City Schools To Protect Over 1000 Endpoints With Malware Protection, URL Filtering And Application Control

Online, June 2, 2013 (Newswire.com) - K7 Computing Pvt. Ltd. one of India's leading data security and threat management companies announced today that Kent City Schools, in Kent, Ohio, USA has selected K7 Enterprise Security to protect its network of over 1000 workstations, laptops and servers.

Kent City Schools has 7 schools, approximately 4,000 students and is highly regarded among the school districts in the State of Ohio. It prides itself in having high academic standards and preparing its students to be productive and successful young adults.

"Here at Kent City Schools we selected K7 Enterprise Security to replace our existing antivirus solution that was harder to maintain and not up to our security standards. We found that legacy antivirus products commonly sold to schools are no longer effective and more complete protection is needed. After an extensive phase of research and testing it was obvious that K7 Enterprise Security was designed to thoroughly protect widely dispersed networks that are under constant hostile attack from malware and other web-based threats. With its comprehensive suite of protection systems that work cohesively together we found that K7 significantly improved our ability to secure our network. We particularly like the malware detection and cleaning, web content filtering, fast performance and ease of management," said Casey Ailiff, Network/Hardware Manager, Kent City Schools.

K7 Enterprise Security is an award-winning next generation enterprise security suite that steps ahead of traditional security products by combining malware protection, active web filtering, application control, runtime behavior monitoring, intrusion protection and data leakage prevention into a centrally managed distributed system. With its proactive and reactive defenses K7 Enterprise Security significantly outperforms traditional antivirus products and other singularly focused network security solutions.

"It takes more than antivirus to protect against the threats faced by large distributed organizations and especially educational institutions. K7 Enterprise Security provides the technologies to actively protect students and faculty from both internal and Internet-based threats. With schools quickly moving to provide every student and teacher with their own laptop the potential exposure to encountering malware, hostile websites or data theft is increased exponentially. No longer does traditional antivirus and network-based firewalls provide adequate protection. We have engineered K7 Enterprise Security not only to protect endpoints within a managed network environment but additionally to detect and automatically adapt the protection K7 provides based on its location." said Jayaraman Kesavardhanan, CEO, K7 Computing Pvt. Ltd.
