K-12 Education Cybersecurity

Securing our K-12 schools with advanced cybersecurity solutions.
Our schools should be more than just educational institutions – they should be fearless and vibrant centers of learning. The cyber threat landscape has impacted many schools and school districts to the point where teachers and students no longer enjoy free access as they once did.

Class Is Now in Session – Anywhere

Our advanced cybersecurity solutions are specifically crafted for the unique needs of the K-12 classroom. We aim to protect teachers, students and staff, all while supporting the collaborative nature of learning. Our scalable cybersecurity infrastructures are designed to safeguard diverse IT environments, ensure adherence to data protection regulations and promote a secure, yet open, academic ecosystem.

Navigating Challenges for Providing a Safe Learning Environment

The intersection of K-12 education and information technology has never been more critical. Schools rely on learning flexibility and student performance while remaining heavily dependent on a safe, reliable digital experience. Our comprehensive network security solutions support this effort with extensive professional assistance for leveraging funding opportunities like the E-Rate program and the various CARES funding opportunities to invest in necessary security technologies in classrooms, schools and entire districts.

Defending Against Evolving Cyber Threats

Schools and school districts face multiple cyber threats, including ransomware, phishing, malware exploits and more. Our solutions effectively isolate cloud-based and on-premises resources, vital school records and classrooms from external and internal attacks.

Next-Generation Defense Mechanisms

Traditional security measures fall short in the face of rampant ransomware, sophisticated phishing attempts and malware exploits. Our SonicWall NSsp 15700 represents the pinnacle of security effectiveness and efficiency, delivering high-end, next-generation firewall capabilities to thwart the most advanced threats and protect school district budgets and operations.

Flexible and Scalable Cybersecurity

SonicWall solutions offer the scalability needed to secure users remotely and on-premises, providing seamless flexibility. We offer school districts Secure Mobile Access (SMA) with Spike Licenses as a viable means to control costs while giving local IT managers comprehensive and manageable controls to keep operations within budgets.

Proactive Measures Against Ransomware Threats

The increasing frequency of malware and malicious threats on K-12 schools is alarming. These coordinated attacks have caused significant disruptions and irreplaceable losses in teaching. SonicWall empowers your K-12 school with practical strategies to protect you from falling victim to such attacks and emerging threats.
