To celebrate NetSupport’s 30th anniversary of providing award-winning school IT management solutions, a bundle of new features has been added to the Network and IT Asset Management, Safeguarding and Classroom Management toolkits, providing extra platform support and safeguarding tools for schools!
These new features not only help IT staff, Teachers and Safeguarding Leads to work more efficiently but also further supports schools safeguarding policies.
Alongside the existing Windows, Mac, iOS and Chrome support, NetSupport DNA now includes the ability to monitor and gather inventories from Android devices and display panels. In addition, there is greater platform support for deployment within MDM devices, plus extra security options.
Extended features in NetSupport DNA v4.7 include:
- Enhanced software distribution
- Endpoint security with encrypted drives
- User tracking
- Custom searches
- Enhanced device inventory
- Centralised remote management
- And much more
NetSupport is now also the first vendor to take the concept of keyword filtering and monitoring to the next level by using key components of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to utilise ‘CI’ – Contextual Intelligence – in a new module that delivers a Risk Index for keywords triggered by students. It automatically assesses the context and history of a child’s activities; whether they are vulnerable; what device they’re on; the time of day; library or supervised classroom; which websites they’re visiting; what previous alerts they may have triggered; what earlier activities may have set the scene – and in doing so, creates a numerical risk indicator when a keyword is triggered.
To complement this leap forward, an all-new cloud-based safeguarding console has also been developed to allow staff to access key information and alerts from triggers across the school’s local network while on the go. This fully secure, Azure-hosted console also includes a smartphone-optimised user interface to help them quickly search for a specific child and review any recent alerts or concerns.
Plus, within the classroom, NetSupport School extends its capabilities with a new unified Classroom and eSafety app for iOS which brings together the functionality previously available separately in the NetSupport DNA Browser and NetSupport School Student apps – making app use simpler and more streamlined for users of NetSupport DNA or NetSupport School, or both!
