Education Authentication Use Cases
Authentication solutions ensure secure access to educational resources, authenticate users for campus facilities, and enable seamless authentication across multiple educational platforms.
Secure Access to Learning Platforms
Authentication solutions enable students, teachers, and administrators to securely access learning management systems, online courses, and educational resources, ensuring that only authorized users can access sensitive information.
Campus Facility Access
Authentication can be used to control access to campus facilities such as libraries, labs, dormitories, and restricted areas, ensuring that only authorized individuals can enter and enhancing campus security.
Student Identity Verification
Authentication solutions can be utilized to verify student identities during exams, assessments, or other online activities, preventing cheating and maintaining academic integrity. This ensures that the right students are accessing and submitting their work.
Cyber Security Threats in Education
Education institutions are increasingly becoming targets of cyber attacks, as they store vast amounts of sensitive student and faculty data, increasing 75% from 2020 to 2021. Cyber attacks in the education sector can result in data breaches, compromised personal information, disrupted operations, and potential harm to the reputation of the institution.
Data breaches
Education institutions house a wealth of personal and sensitive information about students, faculty, and staff, making them attractive targets for cybercriminals seeking to gain unauthorized access to this data.
Phishing attacks
Students, faculty, and staff may fall victim to phishing attempts, where cyber attackers pose as legitimate entities to deceive individuals into sharing sensitive information or clicking on malicious links.
Ransomware attacks
Education institutions can be susceptible to ransomware attacks, where malicious actors encrypt critical data and demand a ransom for its release. Such attacks can disrupt operations, hinder access to educational resources, and cause significant financial and reputational damage.
