Desktop Security
Safe and sound.
In a busy school it is essential that all of the PCs and laptops are ready for use when you turn them on. They also all need to start up in exactly the same way and have all of the software and settings that you need. There is just no time to start fiddling around with them before the lesson can start.
Beebug Security v7
We have written a program that does all this for you.
It seamlessly locks down the computers to stop pupils (and staff) from making changes and stops them from getting to parts of the network that they should not see. It makes it very simple for anyone to use the computer as everything they need is right in front of them. We can also customise it to your requirements, so that you have a particular Desktop or so that your programs are organized by topics or even Keystage groups rather than complicated program names.
This program sells for £800, but the great news is that it is supplied free as part of our Basic Managed Service. All of the settings are controlled from a single screen on your fileserver and are very simple to use. The latest version now works with Windows7 so that you can have a mixture of PCs running Windows XP and Windows 7 on your network all at the same time.
There is so much clever stuff that we can do for you with Beebug Security. We can have different Desktops and menus for each year group and teachers will have access to private areas that the pupils cannot see.
