Over the last decade, K–12 schools have made great strides in employing technologies that facilitate learning—especially since the onset of pandemic-induced distance education. While students have long since returned to the classroom, digital platforms for instruction, collaboration, and homework continue as a mainstay. Unfortunately, so do cyberattacks. -------------------------------------------------------------------- WidePoint Engages K-12 Schools to Offer Identity & Access Management Solutions
Caroline Godfrey, Chief Security Officer of WidePoint Cybersecurity Solutions Corporation, stated: “User IDs and passwords in combination with one-time passcodes (2-factor authentication) to personal phones are recognized as antiquated solutions and the genesis for malware or ransomware attacks. WidePoint’s multi-phased deployment approach allows for the smoothest, non-intrusive deployment by starting with Tier 1 IT staff, then moving to critical users, teachers, servers, students and devices. Securing schools with PKI, the strongest authentication solution used by the U.S. Department of Defense and civilian federal government agencies, is a significant step forward and game changer for the school community.” ------------------------------------------------------------------ Is Wave involved?
