Managed Methods Spotlight

"You don't know what you don't know. Unless you have the budget to hire somebody to monitor your environment 24/7, you need solutions like Cloud Monitor and Content Filter by ManagedMethods to help you do it."

That’s the advice of Manny Sanchez, Director of Technology at Azusa USD and ManagedMethods customer. What is ManagedMethods? It’s the only company providing K-12 specific cybersecurity and safety for Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and online browsing. Our products make cybersecurity and safety easy and affordable for IT teams in over 30 California schools and districts working to keep your students, staff, and communities safe.

"Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 security tools will show you some analytics, but you really don't have the ability to take action on it quickly,” Manny shared. “Cloud Monitor allows me to see every aspect of what is going on in my cloud domains, then it lets me take action."

With our Cloud Monitor and Content Filter platforms, you can gain the visibility and control you need to monitor, alert, and respond when time is of the essence—no proxy, no agent, and no special training needed.

Cloud Monitor is a central command center for managing cybersecurity and student safety risks in Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. Through automated controls, it helps prevent data security breaches, account takeovers, ransomware, and phishing attacks, while also detecting student safety signals.

“When I first saw the Cloud Monitor demo, I realized it's everything I had at my previous district rolled into one,” said Manny. “The visibility and control it would give me into Google Workspace was amazing, so I immediately said, 'I love it. Let's do what we have to do to get this kicked off.'”

Content Filter is our web filtering solution, offering a modern, scalable, and user-friendly solution tailored to the unique needs of schools. Its cloud-based architecture ensures quick deployment with no complex installation required. Unlike on-premise solutions that can struggle with high data volumes due to limited server capacity, Content Filter is lightweight and highly scalable, so your students and teachers won't be slowed down.

“Content Filter is so lightweight that we were able to run it at the same time as our existing solution without impacting our end users’ experience. We were set up in about 15 minutes and we started seeing results almost immediately. We were able to report on activity and see what students were attempting to access,” Manny recalled. “It was also impressive that it had no impact on our end users when running both web filters at the same time. It’s a no-brainer for us.”
