Challenge	Royal Russell School, a coeducational independent day and boarding school based in South London, needed to safeguard its children online. It specifically needed to uphold their data rights in data protection law, as children are classified as vulnerable data subjects. This meant Royal Russell needed an enterprise-class threat detection system to protect its community as they browsed the web and accessed applications in the cloud. With end-of-life web security, it was clear they needed to engage a new solution to protect its large school community of 1,500 users including pupils and staff. They also needed to protect the number one attack surface: email, and effective email filtering was vital. Read More
About Customer	Royal Russell School is a coeducational independent day and boarding school based in South London. The school values the things that make each pupil distinctively brilliant. With 1,100 pupils aged three to 18 under its tutelage and 110-acres of facilities, this vibrant and ambitious community requires the highest levels of security to ensure proper safeguarding, and to protect its own systems from malicious attack. The school community consists of 1,500 users including pupils and staff. Read More
Solution	In 2015, Royal Russell first engaged with Censornet channel partner, Managed Security Solutions (MSS), to replace their current Web Security. After an extended trial they then purchased Censornet’s Web Security and Cloud Application Security (CASB) as their first line of defence. MSS recommended Censornet’s Email Security. Since 2019, Royal Russell have been using it continuously to protect its school community from known, unknown and emerging email security threats, such as phishing and spam. By working with Censornet, the school was able to combine attack intelligence across their email, web and cloud application security (CASB) solutions, to stop cross-channel attacks. This enabled Royal Russell to protect against web-borne malware and offensive and inappropriate content. The school is now also able to effectively manage time spent on websites, as well as review user interactions across cloud applications. Read More Log in to view content
