GeoTrust and EDUCAUSE Team Up for Network Security

GeoTrust, Inc. (www.geotrust.com), a provider in identity verification solutions for e-business and a leading issuer of digital certificates for web security, today announced that it has teamed with EDUCAUSE, a nonprofit association advancing higher education by promoting the intelligent use of information technology, to provide EDUCAUSE members with discounted pricing on GeoTrust’s worldclass network security solutions.

“Higher education has a critical need to improve identity management as we move more of our core processes—learning, research and service—to the Internet,” said Mark Luker, vice president, EDUCAUSE.

GeoTrust’s managed PKI solutions allow educational institutions of all sizes to easily and costeffectively implement network security, from SSL server certificates to client certificates for securing network access and email communications.

“One of the greatest challenges to deploying a public key infrastructure (PKI) project in higher education is the substantial fixed cost associated with setting up the infrastructure. GeoTrust’s managed service offers superior value and rapid deployment which has helped us facilitate the adoption of PKI by our users,” says Nicholas Davis, PKI Administrator at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a member of EDUCAUSE.
