RESEARCH AND EDUCATION
underground_8 has its roots in the university environment. For this reason the company has a strong concentration on the protection of educational establishments. Universities and colleges need to react to the increasing competition for students and research resources. The use of IP technologies improves services for students and teaching staff and accelerates research initiatives.
In the research and education sectors, networks create an open environment for the exchange of ideas and the shared use of resources. Viruses and spyware can take advantage of open networks to spread through the whole campus in no time. An infection can create a massive headache for system administrators. The underground_8 security solutions have proven themselves time and again in the protection of open networks in the research and education sectors. They not only protect e-mail, Intranet and Internet connections, but at the same time ensure the security of confidential information such as student and financial data.
The next generation of security systems developed by underground_8 protect networks from all Internet-transmitted risks. Our multi-award-winning products are characterised by a best-of-breed approach; underground_8 products incorporate technologies by renowned manufacturers such as Kaspersky Labs and Intel.
Many universities, colleges and technical colleges already use underground_8 hardware appliances for their teaching activities, including practical training on IT security. This subject will be one of the most important core subjects of the future; underground_8 is making an important contribution with its commitment in the area of “young people and education”.
underground_8 has special education pricing for the purchase of firewall and security components for teaching purposes. In addition to giving assistance with hardware costs, maintenance and service fees, underground_8 also provides financial support to the training of teaching staff and offers training and certification workshops over several days at special educational rates.
