Why ESET?
ESET provides modern antivirus solutions for a wider variety of devices and endpoints. It also allows IT resources to be reprioritized as IT staff will no longer be responsible for maintaining the infrastructure related to the antivirus platform, in turn offering greater efficiencies to better support the campus community.
