Trend Micro-Huntsville City Schools

Technology Used: Trend Micro OfficeScan Client-Server Suite, Trend Micro Enterprise Security, Trend Micro Smart Protection Network

Solution: Huntsville City Schools in Alabama is a family of K-12 learning institutions accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges. All schools in the district offer strong core curriculums, innovative after-school programs, and a range of extra-curricular activities. Technology is also an important part of the learning experience. Huntsville’s IT environment consists of roughly 7,000 PCs and a number of laptops running on 115 servers.

Before adopting Trend Micro products, Huntsville City Schools was dealing with a large number of virus attacks. The support being provided by the vendor of the existing security solution was inadequate, and the product in use was being discontinued. Huntsville City Schools needed an affordable, effective security solution.

After meeting with numerous security vendors and learning about the various choices out there, Huntsville settled on Trend Micro Enterprise Security. They deployed the Trend Micro OfficeScan Client-Server Suite.

Huntsville City Schools has realized multiple security benefits through its adoption of Trend Micro technology. The suite effectively blocks access to malicious Web sites that may contain harmful viruses. It also offers comprehensive protection against a variety of threats, including viruses, spyware, and phishing, eliminating the need to purchase multiple programs. OfficeScan’s flexible plug-in architecture allows features to be added or removed without redeploying the entire program, making the Trend Micro suite a practical, long-term solution for Huntsville City Schools’ evolving security challenges.
