AirTight® Networks’ wireless vulnerability and network security solutions enable school administrators to control wireless Internet usage by preventing students from connecting to unauthorized wireless access points in the neighborhood while on campus.

While many primary and secondary schools have embraced the use of networked course material and the Internet to enhance the learning experience, the increasing ubiquity of wireless capability embedded in notebooks, smart phones and gaming devices creates a new challenge for school administrators and IT managers trying to maintain control over Internet usage.  Students connecting wirelessly to a neighboring home, business network, or municipal wireless network can surf the Internet bypassing the schools content controls and monitoring. This behavior potentially exposes students to adult content, placing the school in violation of the CIPA act with possible revocation of E-rate certification.

To ensure compliance with Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA), most schools have implemented Internet filtering software to prevent minors from viewing adult content, visiting gambling or gaming sites, or downloading music files.  AirTight’s wireless vulnerability management and security solutions ensure that wireless activity on campus conforms to school policy.

AirTight Networks helps schools maintain their commitment to CIPA and eases IT burden in maintaining a robust wireless network for an individual campus or across an entire district from a central location.
