Case Study: RWTH Aachen University protects intellectual property and enables secure BYOD with Druva inSync

RWTH Aachen University embraces BYOD Selects Druva inSync for unified endpoint data management

RWTH Aachen University, a leading European research and teaching institution, faced the challenge of protecting valuable intellectual property on faculty and staff devices under a BYOD policy. With users accessing sensitive data on laptops, tablets and smartphones over WANs and VPN-less networks, the university needed user-configurable backups, secure file sharing across devices, and an on‑premise server deployment to keep data under its control.

RWTH deployed Druva inSync on premise, a unified platform for endpoint backup, secure file sharing, DLP and analytics. The solution secured endpoint data with enterprise‑grade encryption, enabled anywhere access and easy cross‑device collaboration, let users configure backup scope and frequency, and reduced storage and bandwidth through deduplication—driving rapid adoption and protecting the university’s intellectual property.
