Education

Connectivity and digital solutions you can trust to deliver safe and effective learning

More than ever, the education sector requires digital security to protect young people online.

Thousands of schools already use digital safeguard solutions to keep students safe and organisations compliant.

The education sector is going through a digital transformation.

Though educational institutions have been using digital solutions for years, the COVID-19 pandemic recontextualised the need for digital technology and literacy:

  • Managing remote lessons
  • Web filters for safe online learning
  • Appropriate monitoring to eliminate online risks
  • Teaching students how to navigate the internet safely
  • Setting standards for web safety across organisations

Schools have a duty to teach their students to become safe and ethical digital citizens. As technology becomes more integral to the learning experience, it is crucial that organisations establish failproof solutions to protect the safety and learning experience of their students.

Management is vital to keep operations running safely and smoothly.

A lack of secure digital management measures across your organisation could lead to your students engaging in harmful online behaviours that threaten their security and safety. Data supervision can prevent incidents from happening before they have a chance to occur, such as:

  • Accessing age-inappropriate or harmful content
  • Illegally downloading and/or sharing material
  • Cyberbullying and online harassment
  • Misusing personal data
  • Scams, phishing and other security threats
