The purpose of the Ministry of Education is to provide the best education possible for the Greek pupils.
In the coronavirus era, we here in Greece have closed schools because of the quarantine. So the education is done through the use of technology that is distance learning.
The 65,000 tablets are distributed through schools and through the director of the school, mostly to low income students, so they have the opportunity to attend classes.
Check Point for two months worked really hard to meet our needs and produce a special product for us named: ZoneAlarm for Institutions.
The key points of ZoneAlarm was at first that it had a Greek language setting, which was very important to us because of the age of the pupils that were going to use it. And the second one was the ease of use of the URL filtering capabilities. It comes preset from ZoneAlarm, so the teacher or the parent that had to install it didn't have to have any special knowledge about setting up or fine tuning the antivirus. Those were the two key points that made us choose ZoneAlarm by Check Point.
Check Point realizing how important that project was, went fast and delivered on time.
The benefits of using a good and a quality software antivirus solution is that we have a peace of mind that the pupils will not surf into restricted areas,.
And at the end of the day because this is the only solution left for having distance learning. We want the tablets to be in the best possible condition every day for the everyday classes.
Zone Alarm allows us to sleep better at night.
