Case Study: Lake Fern Montessori Academy achieves reliable student and network protection with ContentWatch's ContentProtect Security Appliance

ContentWatch's ContentProtect Security Appliance Becomes Teacher's Pet

Lake Fern Montessori Academy, led by Jeff Richards, faced a growing challenge when students began bringing their own computers: free filtering software was easily bypassed, viruses reached the server, and teachers were forced to constantly monitor Internet use. Richards researched hardware options and selected ContentWatch’s ContentProtect Security Appliance to provide a more reliable, centrally managed solution.

ContentWatch installed the ContentProtect Security Appliance, delivering combined web filtering, anti‑virus/anti‑spyware, bandwidth management and user controls so Richards could group users and assign teacher/student rights. Since deployment, the appliance has blocked viruses and spyware (Richards reports no infections on the network or server since installation), eliminated the need for client anti‑virus on many machines, reduced admin time and software costs, and restored peace of mind for staff and parents.
