Managing the network infrastructure for any organization is hardly an “easy A,” and educational institutions are certainly no exception. But with our solutions that address the critical network challenges they face today, educational institutions get – and keep – high marks in security.
A Master Class in IT Security
Combining a user base of students and faculty spread over a large campus, connecting over wired and wireless networks – all while maintaining adequate controls for a safe Internet experience – is no small feat.
No other environment tests its IT infrastructure more in terms of both performance and security than in education.

Thankfully, eMazzanti Technologies helps institutions make the grade every day.
Architected to be the industry’s smartest, fastest, and most effective network security products, our solutions address key challenges faced by education today: from achieving and maintaining compliance standards, to securing the explosive BYOD movement.
With eMazzanti, educational institutions get – and keep – high marks in security.
What Are the Top Challenges in Education Network Security?
Maintaining Compliance and Accreditation
Achieving regulatory compliance is not unlike an exam that never ends – but the stakes are much higher and there’s no multiple-choice options.
As new technologies and online resources are integrated into learning programs, concerns around student privacy and security naturally arise.
As such, educational facilities around the world are required to meet local or national Internet safety regulations, or face significant financial consequences.

Securing BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)
BYOD programs offer myriad benefits. Students and teachers are more comfortable using their own devices and therefore more productive. School BYOD programs also breed greater device longevity (as students are more likely to care for their own equipment,) increased student collaboration and organization, and significant cost savings.
But there are many security and privacy concerns with students having uninterrupted access to their devices – after all, BYOD has coined a copycat term: Bring Your Own Risk.

Funding for Cyber Security
Cyber criminals are well aware that network defenses in education are often limited and ransoms are more likely to be paid. After all – schools cannot function without access to their data.
The implications of such attacks on schools can result in major financial losses, stolen data, hardware rendered useless and educational institutions faced with prosecution or even lawsuits. In many cases, schools have been forced to turn students away while they work to resolve the issue and bring their systems back online.

Keeping Pace with Evolving Resources
New EdTech (educational technology) is emerging every day, enabling both more engaged students and more effective teaching methods.
Connected tools like Smartboards have become wildly popular for schoolroom settings, marrying digital technology with a classic whiteboard format, projecting computer images onto the board. Though certainly exciting, EdTech’s ever-expanding reach introduces significant challenges, not least around network overload and user management.

Opra Requests
OPRA, is a statute that provides a right to the public to access certain public records in the State of New Jersey, as well as is the process by which that right may be exercised can be a cumbersome and time consuming. Identifying key data which typically exists in silos and consolidating it, is a daunting process. The time restriction on responding is seven days. This puts pressure on the municipality to manage and retrieve many sources of unstructured data to be able to respond to citizen requests.
Let eMazzanti and our Compliance team help you sort through your data and implement effective eDiscovery tools to support your Opra process.
