While antivirus, web security, and e-mail security played an essential role in stopping threats from entering the school, these technologies fell short in stopping unknown malware and other problematic software from running. When students and teachers were using laptops outside of the school’s network, there was no control over what filtering and firewalls were in place. This increased the risk of unauthorized software or malware being downloaded, which could later run inside of the school’s network. Read More
