Due to the high number of computers in a lab, many lab administrators choose to use remote administration software. Computer labs in schools often have classroom management software installed to manage and control student computer activity from the teacher’s computer, to monitor or prevent web browsing and to remotely control student computers.

Famous quotes containing the words security and/or measures:

    It is hard for those who have never known persecution,

    To doubt the security of their money.
