ESET Education
Prevention-First Cybersecurity for Education
ESET’s prevention-first approach mitigates the risks of attacks that educational institutions face worldwide. It prevents breaches and protects your data, students and employees.
Schools face several security challenges
Securing Remote Learning Environments
Ensuring the security of remote access to school networks while allowing the use of personal devices by students and staff, thus expanding the attack surface, poses significant challenges.
Phishing, Social Engineering and Ransomware Attacks
Educational institutions are a prime target for attacks, given their typically large numbers of users, so it is necessary to prevent breaches from multiple attack vectors.
Managing the Burden on Hardware Resources
The challenge here is to choose cybersecurity solutions that do not place an excessive burden on your hardware, as this can lead to performance issues and user frustration.
