Celestix for education
You have attracted the brightest young minds in the country, now you just need to provide them with the application access they need to be productive whilst ensuring your institute is protected against the security and financial risks associated with data leakage and illegal file content sharing.
Sensitive data such as student records, grades and coursework need to be secured from unauthorized access whilst allowing access to users with a valid requirement.
Moving education onto the Internet offers students exciting new educational and creative opportunities. Networked education also promises benefits to teachers and school administrator such as flexible delivery of educational materials and programs as well as cost savings. Yet, the Internet also puts students—whether at public school districts, community colleges, or major universities—at risk for illegal sharing of copyrighted information and for access to inappropriate materials. Without careful management, students and staff can also waste valuable network resources and endanger network operations with pursuits that don't relate to institutional goals.
Celestix provides education establishments the ability to securely publish only the network resources that are required by users in order to meet the demands of their role. For instance, collaboration sites and coursework portals can be made available to students but access to student records, course grades and staff records can be restricted. Access can be controlled through the enforcement of user policies, ensuring that users without the rights to view certain network resources never get to see them.
