Virusprotection

Any device connected to the Jade University network must have appropriate virus protection and must be updated regularly. Since June 2023, we have been using the product “Sophos Endpoint Protection” as virus protection at Jade University.

Important: Use of PC systems without virus protection software is not permitted at the Jade University network.

Service devices

Devices within the PC network system

All devices within the PC network system are/will be automatically equipped with a suitable virus protection - this usually concerns all desktop PCs as well as all devices in the PC pools of the HRZ.

Devices outside the PC network system

The virus protection software from the HRZ must be installed on all devices outside the PC network system - this usually applies to all mobile systems. Open a ticket for an appointment at the HRZ service desk via the ticketsystem.
