Success story

Securing connected schools

In 1998 the UK government announced that it planned to connect every school to the internet, creating a National Grid for Learning.
Sophos Endpoint Security and Control is now used in more than 50% of the schools in England and Wales and throughout Northern Ireland.

“Sophos Anti-Virus allows us to offer our pupils the freedom to learn while protecting them from the real dangers of the virus threat.”
