Case Study: Los Angeles Police Department achieves secure, reliable patrol car computing with Faronics Deep Freeze and Anti-Executable

Los Angeles Police Department - Customer Case Study

The Los Angeles Police Department faced a significant IT challenge as it upgraded its patrol car technology from outdated Mobile Data Terminals to new Windows XP laptops. The department was concerned about new vulnerabilities to malware and the management burden of maintaining the configuration and security of over 1,500 mission-critical laptops with limited IT staff and resources.

Faronics provided a comprehensive solution with its Deep Freeze and Anti-Executable products. This combination ensured the laptops would reboot to a pristine, standardized configuration after every use, eliminating downtime from software issues and proactively blocking unauthorized programs. The LAPD stated this Faronics solution would dramatically cut the staff needed for management, avoid the need for constant updates over low bandwidth, and ensure maximum uptime for its critical law enforcement systems.
