Education
Schools face a unique paradox: maintain an open, collaborative learning environment while strictly locking down student data and protecting against rampant ransomware targeting education.
Common Challenges
- ⚠ Ransomware: Schools are top-tier targets. Downtime disrupts learning and administration.
- ⚠ Student Safety (CIPA/FERPA): Balancing content filtering with educational access.
- ⚠ BYOD Management: Securing networks that thousands of unmanaged student devices connect to daily.
How We Help
- ✓ Network Segmentation: Isolate student Wi-Fi, staff networks, and security camera systems.
- ✓ Identity Mgmt: Streamlined SSO for students and staff to access learning platforms securely.
- ✓ E-Rate Assistance: We can help design projects that align with E-Rate funding cycles (networking/Wi-Fi).
Key Takeaways
Reliable Wi-Fi is as important as electricity. We design high-density networks that work.
Protecting PII is critical. We implement controls to keep student records private and FERPA compliant.
We integrate IT with physical security—access control, cameras, and emergency paging systems.
