Case Study: Fairfax County Public Schools achieves faster, easier endpoint protection with McAfee Endpoint Security

Easily Managed, Advanced Endpoint Security Results in 125,000 Safer Desktops and Happier Users

Fairfax County Public Schools, the 11th largest public school district in the US, needed to protect 125,000 desktops and 400 servers across 232 locations while dealing with time-consuming virus scans, growing malware risk, limited IT resources, and a tight budget. With one IT person responsible for desktop security, the district needed a faster, easier-to-manage endpoint protection solution from McAfee.

McAfee implemented McAfee Endpoint Security, along with McAfee Endpoint Threat Protection and McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator, to centralize management and improve performance. The result was dramatically faster scans, fewer endpoint infections, easier control of security policies across 125,000+ devices, and a much better user experience—so much so that Tuesday scan-day complaints disappeared and one administrator could effectively manage the entire environment.
