– Currently: $42– Increasing to: $43
• Cause: Decreased demand (4%)
100% ECAL
• Business and Finance (the group that pays for and bills for the MS Campus Agreement) decided to uplift 100%– All units are now covered for ECAL

McAfee, Forefront, and the Magic Quadrant
• The Quadrant is for endpoint protection suites only
• OSU is only using AV and AS– Forefront does not have
a complete suite– McAfee is shown as
leading because of the size of their suite
– According to Gartner, FF and McAfee are “on par” in terms of scanning and detection.
Minor SLS Changes
