Protecting a K-12 IT infrastructure is no easy feat. With limited financial and human resources you must ensure students, faculty and staff are adequately protected against an ever-changing barrage of threats. No, it’s certainly not easy. But with Sophos on your side, the job is simple.
Consider this scenario:
A student is transferring to another school district. The guidance counselor accesses and emails her academic records to the new district. Sophos enables the secure transmission of the records by providing:
-
Encryption to keep the data safe if the counselor’s laptop is lost or stolen.
-
Threat protection to keep his PC safe from viruses, phishing and other threats.
-
Data loss prevention controls to warn him that he is about to email a file containing Social Security numbers or other personally identifiable information.
-
Policy compliance controls to prevent him from using a web browser with a known security vulnerability or stop him from saving the file to an unencrypted USB stick.
-
Blocking of anonymous proxies for web searches because they allow personal information to be accessed by administrators of the proxy server.
Together these technologies ensure the appropriate use of your school’s computers, the privacy of student information and the health of your systems. And you get it all from a vendor that understands the unique needs of a K-12 school IT staff.
