FireEye is a next generation endpoint detection and response (EDR) software. The Division of Information Technology (DIT) is requiring each University of Maryland (UMD) department to switch to FireEye to strengthen their ability to prevent, detect, manage and respond to cyber threats system wide. With malware, phishing and other malicious threats becoming increasingly sophisticated, DIT has searched for the best tools at a competitive price to protect our networks and the sensitive data of our employees and students. FireEye, chosen through a competitive request for proposal process, offers a multi-dimensional solution that helps the University more effectively manage its cyber risk profile. This improves the security of our entire campus population.

The deadline for Economics to have FireEye Endpoint Security installed on our systems was June 30th, 2021. If you are in possession of a UMD owned laptop please follow the links below to complete your installation.
