Case Study: Newbridge High School Academy achieves robust ransomware protection and GDPR-ready endpoint security with ESET

Newbridge High School Academy Trust, Entrusts ESET With Their IT Security

Newbridge High School Academy Trust, a Leicestershire school that holds sensitive pupil, staff and financial data and relies heavily on IT for teaching and administration, needed stronger protection after the WannaCry ransomware outbreak. The Trust sought a centrally managed, high‑performance antivirus with low system impact and reliable UK support to help ensure GDPR compliance and safeguard their network, and turned to ESET for a solution.

ESET deployed ESET Endpoint Antivirus, giving Newbridge comprehensive protection (antivirus/antispyware, anti‑phishing, device control, exploit blocking and low‑resource scanning) managed centrally without slowing systems. The ESET solution reduced the school’s exposure to malware and ransomware, supported compliance efforts and delivered the reliable UK‑based support and peace of mind the Trust required.
