Case Study: Brighton College achieves fast, low-impact virus protection for students with ESET Endpoint Antivirus (ESET)

ESET Endpoint Antivirus Makes the Grade at Brighton College

Brighton College, a leading independent co-educational school in England, needed to keep hundreds of student-used computers safe from malware and the risks posed by USB sticks and other portable devices. Their previous antivirus was resource-heavy and overly complex for the network team, so network manager Wayne Govier replaced it with ESET Endpoint Antivirus to address performance, manageability and protection gaps.

ESET deployed Endpoint Antivirus across the College, delivering a light footprint, fast real-time scanning and an intuitive management console that allowed a rapid, problem-free rollout and minimal ongoing administration—Wayne reports the product largely manages itself and sends email alerts only when needed. ESET’s solution also added device control, anti‑phishing and exploit-blocking features, and brought Brighton the benefit of a highly rated product (multiple Virus Bulletin 100% Awards) that improved protection without slowing students’ machines.
