GovConnection is dedicated to fulfilling the specialized IT needs of K–12 schools throughout the United States. For more than 12 years, we have been helping academic IT and purchasing professionals make informed decisions and reduce procurement costs. At NECC 2006 we are pleased to host a series of presentations featuring Deep Nines.

Come hear Deep Nines discuss their unique offerings and case studies in the K–12 marketplace focusing on visibility, control, and security. Some benefits of their solution include: The DeepNines' solution addresses the four major emerging trends in the network security market:

• Eliminates unwanted proxies that allow students to bypass security rules and policies
• Improves network performance by reducing the amount of unwanted traffic that is consuming network bandwidth
• Prolongs infrastructure lifecycle by more effective utilization of Internet connection, routers and switches
• Leverages existing security investments by ensuring that their rules and policies are enforced
• Tighter security on legitimate traffic by preventing viruses, worms, blended threats and other malicious traffic
• Ability to define different access policies for different groups of users (example: can allow the administration to use instant messaging but not the students).
• Provides granular control to ensure that good, mission critical traffic gets to the network quickly and attack-free.
