Case Study: Tulane University strengthens information security and accelerates vulnerability remediation with Fortra's Frontline VM

Fortra Vulnerability Management (Fortra VM) helps Tulane University Bolster Information Security

Tulane University, a large private university with roughly 16,000 students, faculty, and staff, faced the common higher-education challenge of protecting sensitive data across thousands of shifting endpoints while preserving open access for research and learning. Their previous scanning tool produced large amounts of static, extraneous data and false positives, making it difficult to prioritize and act on real risks.

Tulane switched to Digital Defense’s Frontline VM (Fortra) — a cloud-based vulnerability management platform with role-based, actionable reporting, host correlation, and rapid re-scan capability plus on-demand analyst support. The result: clearer, prioritized findings, fewer false positives, faster remediation verification, broader team adoption, and a stronger, more manageable security posture.
