Case Study: North Country Community College achieves stronger software compliance and less IT maintenance with Faronics Anti-Executable

North Country Community College - Customer Case Study

North Country Community College, a public college in upstate New York, faced a significant challenge with its staff computers. The IT staff, led by John Bray, struggled with constant maintenance issues and downtime caused by employees installing unauthorized and often conflicting software, creating security and configuration risks. They turned to their existing vendor, Faronics, for a solution.

Faronics implemented its Anti-Executable application whitelisting solution to control which programs could run on the college's workstations. This prevented the installation and execution of unauthorized software, including malware and distracting applications. The solution from Faronics saved the IT department an estimated 15-20 hours per month in maintenance, ensured software compliance, and created a more secure and reliable computing environment when used alongside their existing Faronics Deep Freeze installation.
