  1. Centrally managed security software that monitors traffic in real time, is updated regularly from a central location, and is integrated into security infrastructure to maximize protection against threats. 

  1. Centrally managed patch updates which are applied regularly and audited for compliance. 

  1. Centralized print management software which allows for installation and upgrade of campus printer drivers.
