HOW TO SECURE SCHOOL COMPUTERS IN CLASSROOMS AND LABORATORIES?

Computers in the educational environment are one of the most risky from the point of view of security due to their frequency of use. Currently, the number of computers in schools is growing at a very fast pace. As the number of computers increases, of course, the complexity of maintaining such computing environments also increases. Many schools have trouble using the computers in their classrooms for what they are designed for and achieving maximum efficiency in using them to maintain the required IT security of hardware and data.

A large number of daily users, limited resources for IT staff and a huge number of computers and laboratories that need to work together. IT staff cannot afford to have computer systems down for an extended period of time, so protection against abused school systems is paramount. Thanks to SmartKeeper locks, teachers and school staff can be freed from tedious supervision and personal protection. The reliable SmartKeeper solution not only reduces the risk of possible disruption of teaching by security incidents, but also ensures that all resources needed for teaching are available only to authorized persons. Pupils and students do not have the possibility to disconnect peripheral devices (keyboards, mice, USB keys, etc.) which reduces the number of thefts. If open ports are blocked, pupils or students do not have the opportunity to cheat on tests or exams. Blinding USB ports prevents students from arbitrarily connecting their USB keys or other devices to school computers.
