We use it at the endpoints with great success and ease of deployment. Some initial hesitancy from faculty (who seem 
hesitant at most things anyway) but works well, low "technical debt" for support.

Does anyone have experience with the security software/platform Bit9? It has a different type of approach to security – 
to permit only known trusted software to run on your systems as opposed to attempting to block software that matches to 
known “bad” signatures or is otherwise identified as “bad”. I would be glad to hear any experience you have with Bit9, 
especially with the software installed on servers. Also, would be glad for any info/feedback on any other similar 
products too. Thanks for any feedback you can provide.

Thanks,
Greg
