We’ve been collecting community feedback and suggestions over the last year and worked with the NET+ Code42 service advisory board for a major program update. The NET+ Code42 program was designed to make endpoint protection and file recovery simple and secure for higher education utilizing the Internet2 Network and InCommon Federation plus have the higher education-focused contract terms we need. The NET+ Code42 program has taken this feedback and made program updates to help more campuses protect their campuses. One of the major ransomware challenges has been protecting your entire campus and detecting ransomware incidents as they happen. In the NET+ program, the NET+ Code42 program is the endpoint backup and security solution and it has been part of these discussions. There are many resources out there for higher education that address ransomware, including the REN-ISAC and National Student Clearinghouse. This discussion is happening now on some campuses at the highest levels because of the number of campuses that have had their operations seriously disrupted or had to pay a ransom. On a recent CCCG call it was discussed outside of just endpoint backup and the helpdesk and included information to protect servers, networks, and the cloud. It is expanding into the research community because of the widespread impact on campuses from ransomware-related security incidents. The significant impact of ransomware on the higher education community has driven discussion well outside the standard information security community. We also have a major program update on the NET+ Code42 program where all higher education campuses can now sign-up to get the benefits of the program and we have updated the pricing model to add in an enterprise license agreement option to protect all their knowledge workers at a significant discount. ![]() Hopefully, I’ve caught you for a couple of minutes to update you on the NET+ Code42 program in case it can help you with your ransomware incident response planning and protecting your campus endpoints. Summertime is many times slower for campuses, but not as often in IT.
