York Regional Police Simplifies Security With Microsoft Forefront Client Security

Canada's sixth-largest municipality and home to 1 million residents, Southern Ontario's York Region relies on its law enforcement agency, York Regional Police, to keep the community safe. As a public agency that deals with emergencies and urgent distress calls, network security is a top priority. York Regional Police (YRP) needed a centralized IT solution that would automatically push the latest applications and security updates to workstations, police cruisers and the region's 911 emergency call center, ensure uptime, and help IT staff maximize its resources. Off late, YRP deployed Microsoft Forefront Client Security, which helps protect IT systems against security threats. The agency now has better system security, simplified administration, and improved visibility into its environment.
