K-12 schools, districts, and agencies simply can’t afford not to make sure that their networks, data, and users are totally secure—especially with vulnerable students accessing those networks every day. The dangers are too great to take any chances. And with mobile devices and social-media usage extending the threat landscape in new directions, yesterday’s solutions simply aren’t good enough.
That’s why 2012 will see Barracuda Networks reaching out to K-12 organizations in North America—including public and private schools, school districts, and county and state education agencies—to let them know that effective, affordable, easy-to-manage security solutions are out there, optimized just for them.
To learn more about how Barracuda solutions address the unique network security challenges facing K-12 organizations, please download this informative white paper, entitled “Dynamic Content Security for K-12 Organizations.”
The Barracuda Advantage
“Dynamic Content Security” is the name for a more holistic, integrated approach to network security that delivers:
- Improved network performance
- Dramatic cost savings—both long- and short-term
- Total content security that protects every user—including mobile and off-network users
- Fine-grained controls to optimize capacity and access
- Simple, centralized control panel to make network management a breeze (plus award-winning customer and technical support for when it’s not)
- Comprehensive forensic reporting to optimize resources and budgets, identify bandwidth-hogging users and apps, demonstrate regulatory compliance, and manage civil or criminal liability
- Multiple deployment options—including on-site appliances, virtual appliances, cloud-based services, or a combination—to ensure a solution that fits your needs, capabilities, and budget
Promotional Payment Terms for K-12 Customers
We understand the intense budget pressures affecting schools, districts, and agencies today. That’s why we created the K-12 Budget Alignment Program . This limited-time promotion allows qualified North American K-12 customers to postpone paying for their Barracuda security solutions until July 31, 2012—long enough to take advantage of new-fiscal-year budget allocations.
With the K-12 Budget Alignment Program 2012, security and compliance don’t have to wait; but paying for them can.
And there’s more, K-12 organizations may also qualify for a significant discount off the retail list price of selected Barracuda solutions. To learn more, contact Barracuda today at 1-888-ANTI-SPAM (1-888-268-4772).
Managing the Transformation in Education
K-12 education is changing, and technology is driving that change. The benefits of these changes are immense. But without a new approach to security, the threats they bring could easily overwhelm the advantages.
At Barracuda, we’re committed to helping K-12 organizations use Dynamic Content Security to manage that transformation safely, securely, simply, and affordably. With Barracuda solutions in place, schools can rest assured that their user community is protected; that network management will continue to be streamlined and simple; and that their IT costs will be kept as low as possible well into the future.
