These days, students at school are constantly “plugged in” and chatting with each other. Google Chat is an app that teachers, students, and staff use to communicate with each other. Because it is text-based, ManagedMethods can flag cybersecurity risk categories and identify student safety signals in specific user chat within any time frame.

Google Chat Cybersecurity and Cyber Safety Monitoring

Most districts don’t have cybersecurity technology to identify data loss risks and control data sharing in Google Chat. But if you can’t see what’s going on, you can’t identify when there is an issue! Additionally, most schools are still reliant on network security tools like firewalls and web content filters, most of which only work with the district network. With Chat being used (often) on non-school-owned devices, your district’s firewall and content filter are likely useless in securing data and protecting student data privacy.

Students using Google Chat can also represent significant cyber safety and CIPA compliance issues. Whether it’s a case of cyberbullying, sharing explicit content, or self-harm thoughts or actions, time matters, and all these signals could signify a problem.

ManagedMethods can provide districts with the ability to detect cloud security and student safety signals quickly and easily across the entire Google for Education domain—from any location, on any device—without impeding the student’s privacy outside of school technology use.
