Ministry of Education Gains Cost-Effective Control of IT Threats | 2007-11-05 | CA (Computer Associates) |
| The Ministry of Education is responsible for the provision of education to over 2,600 state and state-integrated schools throughout New Zealand.

As a result, many school computers were infected with viruses and vulnerable to security threats. The Ministry of Education e-Learning unit now offers a comprehensive threat management solution to schools in what is believed to be the largest anti-virus and anti-spyware software deployment in the Asia-Pacific region. Teachers and administrators, whether working from school or from home, are now protected from malware.

| Harland and Wolff, founded in 1861, is a renowned Irish ship builder and engineering firm with approximately 250 employees.

In early 2007, Harland and Wolff implemented Microsoft Forefront Client Security, a new software security solution that helps protect computers from spyware, viruses, and other security threats. The company can now offer its IT administrators simplified management and improved reporting capabilities. Additionally, this new solution integrates well with the organization's Windows-based infrastructure while providing automated administration and improved protection.
