Why OpenDNS for your college or university?

OpenDNS, present on more than half of all U.S. college and university campuses today, uniquely provides a proactive security layer that both blocks inbound malware infections and outbound botnet communications.  The result: Our sophisticated approach means malware can't get in, and bots can't connect to your your network and wreak havok.

No other service like it exists and if you're like many of the world's leading universities that we count as customers, you'll soon find it the most indispenable service you run on your network.

• Easily scales with your network bandwidth needs

  Universities often have network backbones that provide large bandwidth connections to their campuses for research and learning needs.

All of this without adding latency, requiring costly upgrades or introducing an additional point of failure. Learn more
