Security solutions for education

What's the best way to secure devices for your school or district?

It can be overwhelming to face so many options for securing school networks and devices, and each school or district has its own variables. Do you use only Apple devices? Chromebook? Do you have a combination of, say, Chromebook and iPad?

Here are the nuts and bolts on what Jamf has to offer to keep students, teachers, administrators and devices safe and secure.

Transform device security for staff, educators and students.

Jamf offers two different endpoint security solutions to schools: Jamf Safe Internet and Jamf Protect for education. Both work with Jamf Connect for a secure, encrypted connection that further increases security.

Jamf Safe Internet provides safe, private connections for students.

Jamf Safe Internet combines best-in-class network threat prevention and a vast content-filtering database to block unsafe content and malicious attacks from malware or phishing. It's a simple interface that integrates seamlessly with Jamf School, meant to be easy and intuitive for everyone to use.
