IT Support for Education
The education sector is becoming increasingly digitised. Technology is categorically changing the learning process, whether that means teaching interactive lessons or better connecting staff and students.
But with many education institutions taking a tech-first approach to teaching, it begs the question of whether they are protecting their IT infrastructure from harm. Are you? The average learning environment has a network of interconnected computers, tablets, and mobile devices—all of which could be potential access points for cybercriminals. Therefore, you need to protect your network with an IT consultant with vast experience in the education sector. Like BCN.
