Clint ISD, a District of Innovation, knows how important cloud security and safety are for their community Background.
After speaking to Chief Technology Officer Michael Tapia, you'd be hard-pressed to find another school district more committed to staying on the cutting edge.
Rather than just one or the other, Clint ISD uses both cloud domains to its advantage.
Typically, students are introduced to Google Workspace in elementary school, as it's easier for them to understand.
Of course, as a District of Innovation, Clint ISD knows cybersecurity is paramount.
According to Tapia, schools are often prime targets for hackers.
Knowing this puts Clint ISD at a disadvantage, Tapia has learned to be resilient.
He's also developing a pipeline of cybersecurity talent using a program that allows graduated students with an interest in IT to work part-time for the school district while attending college.
Clint ISD was ahead of the curve when it came to remote learning, because it had already invested in its cloud environment and classroom infrastructure the district could easily switch to virtual.
As he's grown into the job, he's learned more about what it really means to manage school cybersecurity.
With Cloud Monitor, Clint ISD gained visibility over its entire cloud environment.
When he first started using the platform, Tapia couldn't believe how much more insight he received.
Aside from attacks, Tapia also gained oversight into risky user behavior.
One of the first things Tapia does in the morning is check Cloud Monitor for daily reports.
If a student is sending emails with inappropriate images or attachments, the platform automatically scans the content to confirm the violation.
This allows Tapia to mitigate image risks, such as pornography, before they cause any damage.
He especially believes Cloud Monitor is great to use in combination with other systems.
Altogether, Tapia gives his ManagedMethods experience a five-star rating.
He highly recommends it to any school district concerned about cloud security.
