• Prevent disruptions like ransomware or phishing attempts, ensuring a smooth teaching environment.
• Protect sensitive data for teachers and students, fostering trust and reducing administrative burden.
• Streamline IT processes so teachers can spend less time dealing with tech issues and more time engaging students.
