The Island Private School introduces programme to protect student and teacher devices

The Island Private School in Limassol has decided to implement Jamf Safe Internet to further protect student and teacher devices against any malware and phishing attacks, under its partnership with Gear Education.

Gear Education, an education technology services company based in Cyprus, works with educational institutions from K12 to higher education, offering a variety of services, including comprehensive consulting, technology integration for platforms and equipment, and professional training and support.

Through its partnership with Jamf, a complete management and security solution for an Apple-first environment, Gear Education provides educational institutions with a better and more secure Apple ecosystem and environment.

One of these institutions, The Island Private School of Limassol, implemented Jamf’s education products across its 1-1 iPad programme to ensure a safe and meaningful teaching and learning experience for teachers and students.

The collaboration started last year when Gear Education assisted The Island Private School in implementing Jamf School, a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution purpose-built for education. This intuitive web-based interface allowed the school’s IT administrators to easily deploy, manage and secure their Apple devices.

More recently, with the decision to implement Jamf Safe Internet, The Island Private School is working with Gear Education again to put necessary steps in place that further protect student and teacher devices against any malware and phishing attacks. Jamf Safe Internet, purpose-built for Apple and available across all mobile platforms, is an educational content-filtering solution that ensures a safe, private connection everywhere students learn.

Maximising the value of technology in education is essential to Gear Education. “Security, management, and efficiency are at the core of a successful education technology program. It allows educational institutions to focus on using technology to enhance teaching and learning,” said Christina Shailas, CEO of Gear Education. Jamf’s education products, including Jamf School and Jamf Safe Internet, are powerful, simple, and affordable solutions that help educational institutions simplify IT workflow, manage devices and ensure an active and safe learning environment. As part of the education technology services they offer, Gear Education can assist with licenses and deployment of Jamf education products.
