The challenges to network security for schools and libraries are often much greater than for normal businesses. The threats most often come from within. Educational institutions from elementary schools to colleges and universities continually battle viruses and other malicious software as well as Peer-to-Peer software used to illegally download music and videos that consume bandwidth.

Most K-12 schools have limited personnel and budgets to address network security issues.  Technology coordinators generally have too many systems and too few hours to keep up with the latest security threats.

Cerdant specializes in network design and security services for educational institutions at any level. We provide a variety of products and services designed to keep networks safe as well as help meet government regulations such as the Children?s Internet Protection Act (CIPA).

Currently Cerdant provides services to over 75 elementary and high schools.  In addition, we provide managed security to several major colleges and universities.  Most of Cerdant's products and services are eligible for E-Rate funding.
