GOOGLE WORKSPACE & MICROSOFT 365 PHISHING & MALWARE THREAT PROTECTION FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS

PROTECT STUDENT AND STAFF DATA FROM PHISHING AND MALWARE ATTACKS

Thwart Cyber Attacks Targeting Student & Staff Data Stored in the Cloud

School districts are experiencing higher levels of cyberattacks than they ever have before. Cybersecurity infrastructure and staffing in K-12 school districts is notoriously underfunded. Criminals are taking note, and taking advantage of the easy access school districts provide to sensitive, profitable information.

Students’ social security numbers and other personally identifiable information get a high price on the dark web. Criminals can also profit from stealing staff W2s and redirecting direct deposit payments to vendors. These types of schemes have already cost school districts millions.

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 phishing emails and files containing malware
  • Identify risky 3rd party SaaS applications connected to district Google and Microsoft accounts through OAuth

PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION

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

PREVENT ACCOUNT TAKEOVERS

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

Arbor Park School District 145 Case Study

“The amount of phishing emails that get through our other filters was a reality check. We simply couldn’t keep up with them in Microsoft, but Cloud Monitor gives us that information and makes it fast and easy to follow-up on.”

COMMITTED TO STUDENT DATA PRIVACY

“When I first learned about Cloud Monitor I was skeptical that such an inexpensive solution would be able to secure our Google Workspace data better than Cloudlock. However, after our first week using the solution, I was more than convinced. Cloud Monitor has been one of the best technology decisions I’ve made this year.”

Ed Newman

“The addition of Cloud Monitor to our IT infrastructure allows me and my team to feel confident about protecting our students and staff when using Google Workspace. The dashboard and alerts provide me real-time info so that I can take immediate action to thwart any threats.”

Steve Bartlett

“Cloud Monitor provided us a level of visibility we needed to ensure the security and safety of our students and staff. The solution was quick to deploy and gave us immediate insights.”
