During their inspection, inspectors discussed online safety issues in the school with senior leaders, groups of teachers, Governors and groups of students.

KBR’s unique, leading edge WiFi security solutions can provide you with the following safety measures:
KBR provides a unified threat management system which not only eliminates the number of security incidents that could put key services at risk, but also contains information on the viruses, attacks and blocks detected, notifying the relevant person quickly and automatically for effective decision-making.
Our WiFi and network solutions can enable seamless self-service onboarding with device integrity checks, virus scans and authentication setup, with a variety of user authentication options to choose from: until a user is properly authenticated and their device is checked, they are kept in a ‘walled garden’. Furthermore, you can specify how many devices individuals can onboard.
With a legal and moral obligation to protect staff and students from inappropriate content, KBR’s solutions provide you with the ability to block access to adult content and malicious websites. We can also provide you with a way to control application usage. For example, you can stop users from using Netflix or Facebook or you can control access to resources by time of day or location.
