Blockbit ensures a secure educational environment and a reliable learning space.

The education sector has experienced an accelerated digital transformation, with educational institutions adopting innovative technologies to create a more dynamic and accessible learning environment. However, this digitalization also brings new challenges in terms of cybersecurity, especially with the increasing use of networks, connected devices, and personal data of students and educators. Blockbit offers cybersecurity solutions designed to protect these institutions from digital threats, ensuring a safe, reliable, and efficient learning environment.

A Safe Learning Environment Must Be Controlled​

In an educational setting, ensuring that students have access to only appropriate and safe content is a top priority. While the internet is an indispensable tool for learning, it also comes with risks associated with inappropriate content and distractions that can compromise academic focus. To address these challenges, Blockbit offers the Blockbit Secure Web Gateway, a module integrated into Blockbit NGFW, which provides strict and effective control over internet access in educational institutions.

Blockbit Secure Web Gateway allows IT teams to set up custom access policies, blocking inappropriate content such as social media, games, violent or inappropriate material. In addition, it makes it possible to control the time of use of resources and block applications that may pose risks to the safety of students and the network. With this solution, institutions promote a more focused, safe, and productive learning environment, ensuring that students use the internet responsibly and within the limits set by the institution.

This content control solution is highly flexible, allowing for real-time adjustments to meet the specific needs of each institution and its users. Integration with other Blockbit NGFW modules ensures that all network traffic is monitored and protected, while the Secure Web Gateway acts as an additional layer of defense and control of internet access. In this way, students exclusively access educational and appropriate content, without compromising their safety or that of the institution.

With Blockbit Secure Web Gateway, educational institutions gain full visibility and control over what is being accessed and when, creating a learning environment that is safe and free from unnecessary distractions.
