School district needs all-in-one security with remote access capabilities
Background
COVID-19 pandemic forced the nine schools into remote learning
Rosedale Union School District Is a Kindergarten – 8th Grade Public School District That Educates More Than 5,800 Students at Nine Schools. A school district in Bakersfield, California, the Rosedale Union School District looks to educate all students in the district to make them career and college-ready. Nine schools recognized by the California Department of Education as Distinguished, Gold Ribbon, and National Blue Ribbon operate under the school district. A key objective of the Rosedale Union School District is providing a child-centered learning environment with high expectations for student achievement and parent involvement through common goals. To this end, a comprehensive 21st-century core curriculum with high standards is emphasized and the diversity of learners is valued so that each student will reach their full potential. Relevant and practical guidance is given to students, which improves self-worth and self-discipline through critical and creative thinking, as well as the acquisition of curricular and technical skills. The Rosedale Union School District looks to achieve this using technology.
CHALLENGES
To deliver 21st-century learning methods to students that allow it to achieve its mission and goals, the Rosedale Union School District wanted a solution that would make it easy and secure to manage the computers on its network. The COVID-19 pandemic forced the nine schools under the Rosedale Union School District to move to a distance learning environment to conduct classes and provide educational material – which they saw as an opportunity to try modern learning methods. However, the school district was aware of the potential threats of conducting learning in an online environment.
The district’s IT department searched for a solution that provided the flexibility and security needed to conduct and manage online or distant learning for its students. The IT department then started searching for ways to consolidate its security and IT management. And this is when they came across Comodo.
“We evaluated Palo Alto Traps and ESET but decided to work with Comodo because of all the tools that were wrapped into a single package.”
The Results
The Rosedale Union School District Partnered with Comodo to make Its distance learning environment secure and flexible.
“We evaluated Palo Alto Traps and ESET but decided to work with Comodo because of all the tools that were wrapped into a single package,” revealed Smith.

Comodo has architected its cybersecurity product to maximize intelligent sharing between every component of the platform, therefore providing superior security, which is a sentiment shared by the team at Rosedale School District.
“I love the ability to contain any threat that pops up on a computer and the ability to be alerted via email of possible infections. This allows us to be proactive in containing threats, which give us better protection. Besides, now that we work in a distance learning environment due to COVID-19, this solution has lent us a lot of flexibility. Our ability to support our staff and teachers quickly and effectively at a distance has improved significantly,” says Smith.
