Managed IT & Surveillance

As we prepare for the back-to-school hustle, the topic that isn’t brought up often are the hidden heroes of safety.

When thinking of school safety, what pops up in your head first?  We often picture locked doors and scheduled fire drills.  There is a critical layer of protection that goes unnoticed that works around the clock to keep everyone safe.

Meet the Hidden Heroes-Managed IT Services and Surveillance Systems!

In this CN July blog, we will explore how both heroes work together to create safer, smarter schools and why every district should always consider them essential, not optional.

School safety is no longer just about preventing physical altercations or unauthorized entry. Today, districts face a dual threat landscape:

• Cyber Threats: Hackers are targeting schools with ransomware, phishing scams, and data breaches—seeking access to sensitive student data, financial records, and intellectual property.
• Physical Security Threats: Incidents such as intrusions, bullying, theft, and vandalism remain a real concern, especially as schools expand campuses and adopt open-door policies for parents and vendors.

Most schools don’t have the time, staff, or resources to manage a fully functioning IT department. Enter a managed IT provider like Computers Nationwide—a cost-effective solution that gives schools access to expert-level tech support, cybersecurity, and system management without hiring full-time staff.
