AGAT Software Announces The Launch Of Webex Teams Advanced Controls For Education

JERUSALEM, Israel, Feb. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --AGAT, a leader in security and compliance solutions for Unified Communications & Collaboration (UCC) services, announces the launch of Webex Teams Advanced Controls for Education.

By leveraging existing features in their existing Ethical Wall Solution, SphereShield by AGAT is able to offer unique capabilities that suit requests from educational institutions using Webex Teams or MS Teams.

Webex Teams Advanced Controls for Education was created following the requests of expert educators and IT professionals in the education industry.

"The pandemic made many educational institutions invest massively in Unified Communications platforms like Webex Teams," said Yoav Crombie, Co-Founder and CEO at AGAT Software. "Webex Teams offers many degrees of freedom for collaboration and communication, and that can be very useful sometimes; however, there are many scenarios where compliance, security and institutional rules require more controls.

As an example, there is a need for a rule blocking a 12th grade student from talking with a 5th grade student."

The list of features explained for Webex Teams Advanced Controls for Education:

    --  Block students from communicating between gradesFor example, a 7th grade
        student communicating with a 4th grade student.



    --  Make sure a teacher is present in every communicationPrevent
        student-only Spaces. Keep the organization protocols and safety.



    --  Automatically assign moderator role for the TeachersJust as in the
        classroom. Avoid uncomfortable situations with students can remove a
        teacher.


    --  Control who can create SpacesAllow only selected certain ActiveDirectory
        group members of the School faculty to create Spaces. Avoid undesired
        Spaces



    --  Block students from communicating with external users. Even block
        external users from adding a student to their SpaceRestrict all
        communications outside of the school domain.



    --  Control who can add participants to a spaceAllow only teachers to add
        users to a space.

        which a space is left without a teacher or when a teacher has left the
        space. This will allow to add a replacement teacher.
