Case Study: Saint Martin’s University achieves centralized, zero-maintenance network and BYOD control with Auconet BICS

Auconet BICS replaces legacy NAC with simplified, central control of entire network and endpoints

Saint Martin’s University faced growing network access and BYOD complexity across a heterogeneous, VLAN-based campus environment with many off-brand student devices and time-consuming manual provisioning. After evaluating major NAC vendors, the University selected Auconet and its Business Infrastructure Control Solution (BICS) to provide a comprehensive, zero-maintenance way to secure, manage, and centrally control the entire network and BYOD access.

Auconet deployed the BICS virtual appliance on-premises and had it fully operational in under two weeks, delivering out-of-band endpoint detection, MAC-based authorization out of the box, web self-registration, vendor-independent operation with no endpoint agents, and no infrastructure changes. The result: centralized control of the entire infrastructure, scalable security for any number of endpoints, and a nearly eliminated need for manual device configuration and intervention.
