Case Study: PAAET (Public Authority for Applied Education and Training) achieves protection of 11,000 endpoints and campus-wide visibility with Bitdefender On‑Premise

Securing 11,000 endpoints means significant freedom for Kuwait’s top University

PAAET, the Public Authority for Applied Education and Training and Kuwait’s largest higher education institution serving more than 50,000 students across 25 colleges, faced the challenge of securing BYOD wired and wireless access and gaining visibility and control over thousands of endpoints in a complex workgroup environment. Previous security tools did not provide the campus‑wide control needed, so the university evaluated Bitdefender, including its On‑premise v3.5 offering.

Bitdefender was chosen after a successful 2010 proof-of-concept and deployed On‑premise v3.5 with significant customized support from its Romanian and Dubai teams. The Bitdefender deployment now protects 11,000 endpoints at PAAET, giving IT staff comprehensive control and visibility over network access and security policies and helping safeguard student records and campus systems.
