Data Security / Monitoring

Absolute Secure Endpoint uses firmware-embedded persistence available on supported devices to help districts inventory, secure, and recover endpoints even when they are off campus. It reports device status and location, supports remote freeze or data-protection actions, and can identify devices that are missing, inactive, or out of compliance.

Absolute Resilience can also monitor critical security, management, VPN, and data-protection applications and automatically repair or reinstall them when they are disabled or unhealthy. This makes the product both an endpoint-security control and an asset-resilience service for large one-to-one device programs.

Backupify has been rebranded as Datto SaaS Protection, a Kaseya service that backs up Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace data outside the source tenant. It protects cloud email, files, collaboration content, and related records from accidental deletion, malicious changes, ransomware, and retention gaps.

Administrators use the service to schedule backups, search protected information, restore selected items or accounts, and meet longer-term retention requirements. The underlying service remains active; this is a naming and ownership update rather than a retired-product cleanup.

Blocksi Manager is a K–12 cloud web-filtering and device-activity platform for managed student devices. It lets administrators apply access policies, review browsing and search activity, manage YouTube and applications, and extend controls to devices used away from the school network.

Blocksi's product family also includes classroom-management, parent, and student-safety functions. Districts should clarify which modules are licensed and whether the record refers to the district filtering console, teacher classroom tools, or broader safety monitoring, since those functions serve different users and purposes.

Cisco Secure Endpoint, formerly Advanced Malware Protection for Endpoints, protects Windows, macOS, Linux, mobile, and other supported endpoints through prevention, file and behavioral analysis, threat intelligence, and endpoint detection and response. It records activity so security teams can trace how a threat entered and what it affected.

The product can isolate hosts, block malicious files, support investigation, and integrate with Cisco XDR and other Cisco security services. District value comes from centralized visibility and response across staff and server endpoints; supported student-device platforms and licensing should be verified separately.

Cisco Cloudlock is a cloud access security broker focused on visibility and protection for SaaS applications. It discovers connected applications and risky behavior, identifies sensitive information, evaluates sharing and permissions, and detects compromised accounts or abnormal activity across supported cloud services.

For districts, Cloudlock can help security teams understand where institutional data is exposed in cloud applications and respond to policy violations or account threats. Cisco currently lists the product as available to order, although districts should verify the exact connectors and licensing because some older purchasing-program SKUs have reached end of sale.

GoGuardian Admin is a K–12 web-filtering and device-activity platform for managed student devices. It applies browsing policies, blocks inappropriate or distracting content, reports internet activity, and helps technology teams investigate attempts to bypass district controls on and off campus.

GoGuardian's broader suite includes Teacher for classroom management and Beacon for student-safety alerts. Those modules should be described separately because screen control, web filtering, and behavioral-risk monitoring serve different staff, require different permissions, and may not all be included in a district's license.

iboss is a cloud-delivered security service edge and web-security platform that applies internet access, threat protection, and data controls to users and devices on or off the district network. Its K–12 offering combines CIPA-oriented filtering with malware defense, SSL inspection, reporting, and student-safety visibility.

Unlike an appliance that protects only traffic routed through a campus, iboss follows managed users and devices across locations. Districts can apply policies by identity or group, inspect encrypted traffic where authorized, block evasive threats and inappropriate content, and consolidate web-security logs for investigation.

Impero Education Pro combines classroom management, device visibility, web control, and student-safety monitoring for K–12 environments. Teachers can view and guide student screens, while authorized administrators can apply internet controls, review activity, and investigate signals that a student may need support.

The listing should not imply that every Impero or former Netop product is one package. Impero Classroom, Impero Wellbeing, Impero Backdrop, and legacy offerings have distinct functions and licensing; districts should confirm the exact modules and device platforms in use.

Infrascale provides cloud backup, disaster recovery, and ransomware-recovery services for endpoints, servers, virtual machines, and supported cloud workloads. It creates independent recovery copies and, in disaster-recovery configurations, can bring protected systems online as virtual machines when local infrastructure is unavailable.

Districts use it to protect operational continuity rather than monitor student activity or filter networks. A successful implementation requires documented recovery priorities, protected credentials, immutable or isolated copies, monitoring of failed backups, and regular tests that prove critical systems can actually be restored.

Kaspersky provides endpoint, server, email, network, and managed cybersecurity products outside the United States. Its business platforms combine malware and ransomware prevention, behavioral detection, centralized administration, vulnerability controls, and incident-response capabilities.

This listing requires an unusually strong U.S. availability warning. U.S. Department of Commerce restrictions prohibit Kaspersky from providing products and services in the United States, so it should not be represented as a currently procurable option for California districts even though the company and products remain active internationally. Historical district relationships should be preserved for later review.

Linewize Classwize is a classroom-management application that gives teachers real-time visibility and control over student web activity during instruction. Teachers can view screens or tabs, focus students on approved resources, pause internet access, close distractions, and temporarily allow sites within limits established by district technology staff.

Classwize integrates with Linewize Filter and can use roster information from Google Classroom or supported SIS connections. It supports instruction and classroom device management rather than enterprise data security, so this listing should move to the classroom-management category while retaining its relationship to the Linewize safety suite.

Malwarebytes for Business provides centrally managed endpoint protection, endpoint detection and response, and optional managed detection and response. It prevents and remediates malware, ransomware, exploits, malicious websites, and other endpoint threats across supported computers and servers.

District IT and security teams manage policies, deployments, alerts, isolation, investigation, and remediation through the Nebula cloud console. The service is designed to reduce the operational burden of endpoint security, especially where a district lacks a large internal security operations staff.
