Your problems, our solutions
Data loss prevention
Student and staff data in school systems are prime targets for cyberattacks. Yet, the most common and most overlooked reason for data loss is due to accidental exposure. District IT teams need to effectively manage access to this sensitive information to comply with regulations and safeguard both students, staff, and financial information.
- Detect anomalous events that indicate unauthorized access to data.
- Identify when data is being improperly emailed or shared.
- Automate data loss prevention to protect social security numbers, W2s, payment, health information, and more.
- Continuously monitor behavior in Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 and automatically mitigate data security risks.
Phishing & malware threat protection
Phishing remains the primary method for criminals to access school accounts, with increasing malware and ransomware attacks. If your district uses Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, criminals can exploit email, file sharing, and risky third-party apps to access sensitive student and staff information. Further, malicious websites, gaming platforms, and other online content pose significant risks to your district’s information systems.
- Block users from accessing malicious websites and content online.
- 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 VPNs, extensions, and 3rd party applications connected to your district’s Google and Microsoft accounts through OAuth.
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.
- Protect your district from an account takeover with advanced URL blocking and threat protection built for Google Workspace and Microsoft 365.
- Easily identify suspicious activities indicating an ongoing account takeover, such as unauthorized device access, repeated failed login attempts, logins from unfamiliar locations, and unsuccessful multifactor authentication checks.
- Automatically detect and remediate successful account takeovers using highly customizable policy enforcements.
Control 3rd party apps
Cloud Monitor automatically scans OAuth permissions granted to VPNs, extensions, and 3rd party apps 24/7/365, 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:
- The scope of required admin privileges.
- The presence of write permissions.
- The status of authorization within your specific environment.
- The endorsement status in other Cloud Monitor user environments.
Student safety signals
ManagedMethods platforms use artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor your district’s browser activity and cloud applications to detect student safety signals in text and image content.
- Using AI algorithms trained specifically for the K-12 environment, identify various safety risks such as self-harm, suicide, cyberbullying, threats of violence, and explicit content, and then promptly alerting school administrators.
- Seamless, 24/7/365 API integrations with district Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 accounts ensure continuous monitoring without compromising personal data privacy.
- Detailed incident reports provide comprehensive information including search and social media inputs, document ownership, contributors, text history, sharing details, and more, enabling informed decision-making for effective intervention.
