About Cloud Monitor

Cloud Monitor is a comprehensive solution that offers advanced threat detection and continuous monitoring of your Google Workspace and Microsoft 365.

By continuously observing cloud applications, the platform helps prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, and ensures compliance with state and federal regulations. Cloud Monitor specifically tailors these protections for educational environments, safeguarding student, staff, and financial data.

Problems Cloud Monitor Solves

Control 3rd party apps

Cloud Monitor automatically scans OAuth permissions granted to 3rd party apps 24/7, assigns a risk score, and allows admins to set up automatic remediation based on customizable rules. 3rd party app risk scores in Cloud Monitor are based on:

Data loss prevention

Student and staff data in school systems are prime targets for cyberattacks, often due to accidental exposure. District IT teams need to manage access to this sensitive information in Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 to comply with regulations and safeguard both students and staff.

Phishing & malware threat protection

Phishing remains the leading method for criminals to access school accounts, with a marked increase in malware and ransomware attacks. If your district is using Google Workspace and/or Microsoft 365, criminals can access sensitive student and staff information via email, file sharing, and risky third-party apps.

Prevent account takeovers

Phishing and malware attacks can lead to your accounts being hijacked. An account takeover is notoriously difficult to detect in Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, and can lead to additional cyber risks and data exposure.

Testimonials

What our customers are saying

“Google Workspace has its own scanning system, but it runs in the background and it’s not reported very well. We couldn’t see our overall status or what was happening in our domain. We definitely couldn’t see any attacks coming in or how our users were acting online. With Cloud Monitor, we can catch and remediate cybersecurity issues quickly. There’s no way our small team could stay on top of it all while also supporting our students, faculty, and staff.”

Stephen Gauss

Network Administrator Gadsden County Public Schools

“Cloud Monitor is proactive and easy to use, compared to Microsoft’s native tools that are more reactive. It's like having an additional employee on my team. We used to have to investigate an issue that we already knew about, and had to try to find information related to the problem. Now, Cloud Monitor gives us a heads-up that something is happening so we can get ahead of it before it’s a problem.”

David Termunde

Chief Technology Officer Arbor Park School District 145

“We have GoGuardian to manage students on a browser level. But it’s not even in the same ballpark as Cloud Monitor. Cloud Monitor is the forensics tool that I use to get Google Workspace information our campus safety team needs to properly follow up with potential issues and incidents. Cloud Monitor is an invaluable tool for keeping our Google environment and, to a degree, our campus a safe place for students to thrive. Having this level of visibility and control is a huge benefit.”
