Ensuring Safety & Security in Educational Facilities
The ongoing challenges schools face come in all shapes and sizes. Administrators work hard to protect the integrity of their learning environments while keeping their students safe, but it is impossible to be everywhere at once.
Integrating physical security with cyber technologies into the framework of their security protocols enables real-time surveillance, threat detection, and rapid response to incidents and/or emergencies. Facilities that use this comprehensive approach to campus safety boost their odds against both cyber threats and physical breaches.
Why Claro Enterprise Solutions for Educational Institutions?

With AI Video Analytics, administrators gain more “eyes on the street” and “eyes on the screen” to vastly scale and improve physical site security. Powered by machine learning and artificial intelligence, AI Video Analytics can enhance physical security with insights not always accessible to the human eye, enabling administrators to receive alerts when abnormal activity occurs. Its all-inclusive approach makes it possible to monitor suspicious activity while managing everyday tasks, providing more immediate visibility into safety breaches.

What are the top three security challenges impacting the education industry?
As administrators, it is of the utmost importance to maintain a sense of security, fostering an environment that is conducive to students’ sense of wellbeing and their continued growth and development. The need for converged security measures is essential to protecting school campuses from physical breaches and cyber threats, alike. Some of the top physical and cyber security challenges impacting the industry include: Active shooter/unauthorized access - Between the 2020–21 and 2021–22 academic years, school shootings jumped 124%. Physical access controls remain a top priority for administrators as K-12 and higher education schools continue to struggle to maintain perimeter security. Exploited vulnerabilities - Weaknesses in network systems and software serve as entry points for cybercriminals or disgruntled students who seek confidential data or to disrupt internal systems. Data breaches - Data breaches can cause harm to both the institution’s reputation and to individuals, enabling ongoing issues such as identity theft and financial fraud.
