Many of today's educational institutions find themselves vulnerable to
security breaches that may compromise confidential information and expose
the university to losses and other risks. Malware, phishing, infrastructure
attacks, social network targeting, and peer-to-peer (P2P) information
leakage are not potential threats; they're actual, daily issues. 

Furthermore, the type of computer architecture that they have, the
open-endedness of it all and the number of individuals who use these
institutions servers, contributes to a level of access that skilled hackers
can use to their advantage. 

Faced with these challenges, many IT administrators in the education sector
are turning to Palo Alto Networks - as opposed to their legacy port-based
firewalls - to stop threats and provide application visibility and control
on their campus networks. 

Please join Palo Alto Networks for an informative webinar and demo. As part
of our discussion panel, Eric Smith - Assistant Director of Information
Security and Networking at Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania -
will discuss how Bucknell University has leveraged Palo Alto Networks'
game-changing Next Generation Firewall technology to better align
information security policies with business priorities, while much more
effectively managing risk. 

About Eric Smith: 

Eric Smith has over 15 years of field experience in information security,
networking, and systems administration. Eric is a founding member of PreSet
Kill Limit, the security research group which has won the Defcon Wardriving
Contest several years in a row.  He is currently obsessed with iOS security
and 
privacy issues.
