Ensuring devices are secure wherever they are being used is of central importance to any modern school. In the current climate, more hacking attacks are taking place than ever before. Hackers see an opportunity to target those working remotely who are likely to have lower security at home compared to at work or in school, because of this so schools really need to be vigilant.

To ensure security home working devices should use either a VPN (virtual private network) or RDS (remote desktop services). A VPN works by routing your device’s internet connection through your chosen VPN’s private server rather than your internet service provider (ISP) so that when your data is transmitted to the internet, it comes from the VPN rather than your computer. The VPN hides your passwords and IP Address as it works as an intermediatory. An RDS work very similarly. Both of these systems rely on a strong, fast and consistent broadband service.

Which is why we offer a leased line option as part of our broadband services. By using a leased line, you can transform your remote working broadband speed and strength, helping your teachers and pupils to be secure and protected when accessing digital school resources.

At Unite6 we want to help you in these uncertain times and help you provide seamless broadband which is protected and for a good price. If you think that’s a good idea, don’t be afraid to get in touch.
