Simple IT security for school digitisation
The school decided that the use of Internet-enabled devices was necessary and desirable from Year 5 onwards. However, their use should also ensure the necessary protection of pupils and protection against possible third-party liability claims arising from potential Internet misuse. The NAC's ticket system and corresponding logging convinced the school representatives during a device demonstration. The Securepoint firewall securely protects the school's network from all common threats.
What makes this installation special is how it is financed: the use of this security solution is financed by the sale of usage tickets, which are purchased by pupils and teachers for the low price of just €4 per school year. The school itself does not have to bear any costs.
Special attention was also paid to ensuring that the system is very easy to use. This meant that the approximately 1,300 user data records could be easily imported as a CSV file, printed overnight and distributed on the first day of school.
Pupils and teachers can work on the school PCs or their own devices without having to log in, and user data is only requested in the browser when using the internet. The handling of all types of devices is self-explanatory, and intervention by subject teachers Mr Goos and Mr Frankenstein is very rare.
