Case Study: The Bishop of Winchester Academy achieves Grade A, low-impact endpoint protection with ESET Endpoint Antivirus

ESET Provides Grade A Security for The Bishop of Winchester Academy

Bishop of Winchester Academy, a Church of England secondary serving over 700 pupils with a network of roughly 20 servers, 500 desktops and 80 laptops, needed a reliable security solution after losing confidence in their previous supplier due to increasing false positives and missed infiltrations. With their licence up for renewal they sought a low‑resource, high‑detection product and evaluated ESET, selecting ESET Endpoint Antivirus.

ESET deployed ESET Endpoint Antivirus across the academy’s estate, delivering layered protection (anti‑phishing, device control, HIPS, exploit blocker, advanced memory scanning and virtualization support) while keeping system overhead low. ESET outperformed competitors in real‑world trials on detection and resource footprint, restoring the school’s trust, protecting approximately 20 servers and some 580 endpoints, and reducing management overhead thanks to its lightweight, easy‑to‑manage solution.
