Product Features
Data Security
Student and staff information stored in school information systems are lucrative targets for cybercriminals. At the same time, the most common cause of school data incidents is a simple accidental exposure. District IT teams must be able to manage access to sensitive information stored in Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 not only to comply with state and federal regulations but also to protect students and staff.
- Automate data loss prevention to protect social security numbers, W2s, payment and health information, and more
- Detect anomalous events that indicate unauthorized access to data
- Identify when data is being improperly emailed or shared
- Continuously monitor behavior in Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 and automatically mitigate data security risks
Phishing & Malware Threat Protection
Phishing is still the #1 threat vector used by criminals to gain access to school user accounts. At the same time, schools are experiencing a sharp increase in malware—including ransomware—attacks. If your district uses Google Workspace and/or Microsoft 365, external threats can gain access to student and staff information through email, file sharing, and risky 3rd party SaaS apps.
- Scan internal & external emails for phishing and malware threats in the message body, attachments, and links
- Automatically quarantine or delete emails and shared files containing phishing and malware links
- Identify risky 3rd party SaaS applications connected to district Google and Microsoft accounts through OAuth
Account Security
Phishing and malware attacks can lead to account takeover of your district’s Google Workspace and/or Microsoft 365 accounts. An account takeover is notoriously difficult to detect in cloud applications and can lead to additional cyber risks and data exposure.
- Protect district Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 from an account takeover with advanced phishing and malware threat protection build for the cloud
- Easily detect behavior that indicates an account takeover attack is underway, such as multiple unsuccessful logins, logins from foreign locations, and failed multifactor authentication checks
- Automatically detect and remediate successful account takeovers using highly customizable policy enforcements
