Education
As schools continue to provide better access to computer hardware,
networks and web resources, district IT staff and classroom teachers
face new challenges. IT staff must manage the challenges posed by
computer labs and school networks as well as control software deployment
and user issues.
Teachers need to manage students who are using computers in a lab or
multi-desktop classroom to ensure that they are learning and spending
time on their assigned tasks.
Children want to learn, and often the best way is to experiment.
Unfortunately lab computers may be used four or five times a day for
different classes, so they really can't afford to endure too much
practical experimentation.
Corporate
NetSupport Protect provides a proactive, rather than a reactive,
solution to the challenges faced. The philosophy of the product is to
prevent changes to the desktop environment and avoid the need to rely on
"repair" based solutions that are more costly and have a greater
maintenance overhead.
Using NetSupport Protect, IT staff can create a secure desktop
environment where system configuration and access from external sources
are protected, where users can utilise available applications but are
shielded from system resources and the temptation of investigating the
workings of the desktop.
A+A successful product is one that can be implemented and maintained
with the minimum of effort and provides a clear summary of the security
in place. This is NetSupport Protect.
"As a very satisfied NetSupport School customer, we had no hesitation in
selecting NetSupport Protect as we know that NetSupport solutions are
of the highest calibre. NetSupport Protect has been easy to implement
and configure and impressed us with its vast array of features and
flexibility."
Gérard Duvivier, Lycée professional Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux

Benefits
Using NetSupport Protect, IT administrators can prevent unwanted changes to the OS, control the creation of content, restrict unwanted file downloads and control application usage. With easy to adopt end point security, administrators can avoid the introduction of harmful or unwanted content from external sources , yet retain the flexibility to utilise existing technology.
Traditional "policy based" security provides for inflexible ON / OFF lockdown. NetSupport Protect allows useful technologies, such as portable storage devices, to still be utilised but in a constructive manner with controls over functionality.
