Learn how District Defend software can protect your organization

Safeguarding networks from human error

Reducing threats from malicious insiders 

  • Adaptive security monitoring identifies and reacts to suspicious behavior, enforcing an automatic response to protect your devices and network. 
  • IT leaders can perform advanced analytics to understand device usage, high-risk behaviors, and insider threats. 
  • Validates that key hardware vulnerabilities are secured (e.g., USB ports, cameras, microphones), mitigating tactics insiders use to compromise sensitive information. 

Protecting your organization from external attacks

  • Pre-boot system disablement or wipe mitigates data loss in the case of a lost or stolen endpoint. 
  • Automatically enforces organizationally defined defensive actions, reducing the potential and impact of unauthorized access attempts. 
  • Provides the ability to encrypt and power off devices while in transport, preventing malicious actions if devices are lost or stolen.
