With NetSupport Protect, you can feel confident that unauthorized changes to a system, whether accidental or malicious, won't become an issue or impact on the productivity of your office PCs or computer lab.

Education

As schools continue to provide better access to computer hardware, networks and web resources, district IT staff and classroom teachers face new challenges. IT staff must manage the challenges posed by computer labs and school networks as well as control software deployment and user issues.

Teachers need to manage students who are using computers in a lab or multi-desktop classroom to ensure that they are learning and spending time on their assigned tasks.

Children want to learn, and often the best way is to experiment. Unfortunately lab computers may be used four or five times a day for different classes, so they really can't afford to endure too much practical experimentation.

Corporate

NetSupport Protect provides a proactive, rather than a reactive, solution to the challenges faced. The philosophy of the product is to prevent changes to the desktop environment and avoid the need to rely on "repair" based solutions that are more costly and have a greater maintenance overhead.

Through NetSupport's desktop security software, IT staff can create a secure desktop environment where system configuration and access from external sources are protected, where users can utilise available applications but are shielded from system resources and the temptation of investigating the workings of the desktop.

Benefits

IT administrators can prevent unwanted changes to the OS, control the creation of content, restrict unwanted file downloads and control application usage. With easy to adopt end point security, administrators can avoid the introduction of harmful or unwanted content from external sources , yet retain the flexibility to utilise existing technology.

Traditional "policy based" security provides for inflexible ON / OFF lockdown. NetSupport Protect allows useful technologies, such as portable storage devices, to still be utilised but in a constructive manner with controls over functionality.

Recovery

Integrated hard disk protection and roll back technology

NetSupport Protect offers twice the level of desktop security and protection - desktop lockdown and hard disk protection and recovery - in a single and easy-to-use package.

Integrated hard disk protection and roll back technology is integrated to protect your operating system and associated files from accidental or malicious deletion and provides a mechanism for automatic restoration on re-boot.

When the new hard-disk recovery feature is enabled, all system files and folders will be continuously monitored and, when required, the system will restore back to a previous point in time quickly and transparently. The recovery functionality also allows you to specify folders that are excluded from rollback monitoring and, as such, are always preserved. Whether it's a complete software failure requiring total restoration or specific files, the new recovery feature provides complete flexibility. Needless to say, system administrators can also install, manage and perform software restoration remotely.

Unlike alternative disk protection systems, NetSupport Protect monitors the disk for changes rather than initially taking a complete snapshot of a computer system. This process results in the almost instantaneous creation and restoration of an image.

Summary of key features:

- Instantly restores your hard disk to an earlier point in time.
- Offers do-it-yourself disaster recovery.
- Helps users stay productive - even if their operating system will not boot.
- Rescues and restores lost or damaged files, folders and corrupted programs.
- Works with your existing security products such as anti-virus programs.
- Provides a secure test platform.
- Restrict user-defined applications from running.
- Uses minimal system resources and hard drive storage.
- Easy to install and centrally manage.

Benefits:

- Saves countless hours of troublesome and unnecessary service calls.
- Works in a fraction of the time of other re-imaging/restoration products.
- Gives teachers more time to teach by eliminating careless or malicious activity.
- Saves valuable network disk space when images need to be stored.
- Reduces or eliminates technical intervention for OS and software-related problems.
- Makes all user PCs' look and behave the same.
- Simply reboot to restore.
