Education: K-12
Protect students and help ensure compliance with unified content security for schools
As an educational facility serving K-12 students, you need to provide safe access to Web 2.0 resources for your students and staff, while also complying with laws like the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA), the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), and data retention and retrieval requirements. Another challenge that you face is savvy students attempting to circumvent acceptable use policies. Websense® security solutions help K-12 schools address these challenges enabling productive use of the Web; protecting against inbound threats like spam, malware, and blended threats; and helping to ensure compliance.
Create and enforce security policies for your school district's specific needs. show/hide >
It can be frustrating for school administrators when IT staff must spend hours adjusting access to websites that teachers need for a particular lesson because their security solution does not allow them to delegate administration. With Websense security solutions, our simplified and centralized administration includes the ability to set access to administrative and reporting functions according to a user's role. Our sophisticated policy engine gives you highly granular control, letting you create and customize policies to fit your organization's needs. In addition, easy-to-use security policy templates help ensure compliance with the most widely enforced requirements, such as CIPA, FERPA, and HIPAA.
Enable safe and productive use of the Web for students and staff. show/hide >
How do you enable your students and staff to leverage the benefits of rich media and collaborative applications that Web 2.0 offers without the risk of inbound threats? How do you stop savvy students from bypassing proxy servers to access unsafe or inappropriate content? And how do you conserve bandwidth during busy school hours? Our Web Security solutions help prevent students and staff from accessing inappropriate content or downloading malicious code through market-leading Web security filtering. Advanced application controls also let you set policy over protocols including IM, P2P, proxy avoidance, and streaming media, and highly granular bandwidth controls let you prioritize bandwidth.
Prevent the loss of confidential information, such as student or staff records, and unauthorized access to such records. show/hide >
The risk of data loss in schools today is greater than ever due to the use of dynamic Web-based applications by students and staff and an increasingly mobile workforce carrying school data on portable devices. How do you prevent the inadvertent disclosure of student, employee, or other confidential records due to a security breach? Our Web Security Gateway solutions provide enterprise-class data loss prevention and let you establish required compliance controls for outbound Web communications. Websense® Data Security Suite enables you to secure your school's confidential information by providing visibility into what data is confidential, where and how it is transmitted or stored, and who is using it, whether your data is inside or outside your network.
Save money in the face of school budget constraints by lowering total cost of ownership (TCO). show/hide >
Due to budget constraints, many educational facilities must do more with less when it comes to information security. How do you receive the best return for your security investments and safeguard your students and staff against the increasing volume of modern threats?
