Pepperdine University
Pepperdine University is a liberal arts and research university with about 8,500 students and 2,000 faculty at its main campus near Malibu, and 5 graduate schools across Southern California. With an extensive bring-your-own-device (BYOD) environment serving thousands of users, Pepperdine needed to ensure high-quality user experience while protecting the network and its assets from cyber threats. By leveraging the FortiNAC network access control (NAC) solution, Pepperdine found an efficient way to deploy and manage network access that is also end-user friendly, giving students, staff, and guests clear information about any access denials.
