PAM for Educational Institutions | Control Access to your Data

Don’t be the next victim of ransomware

Three quarters of educational institutions suffered a ransomware attack last year, according to CyberEdge.

Inadequate access controls open the door for ransomware and allow attacks to progress. If a cyberattack gains access to one system, it may be able to exploit and elevate privileged credentials to move throughout your IT environment.

Privileged access management (PAM) controls privileges centrally and automatically to mitigate risk, while seamlessly allowing users the access they need.

Ensure seamless, secure access to the cloud

You’ve got a diverse array of systems for coursework, enrollment management, financial aid, and other student services. Your network is a patchwork of LMS, SIS, ERP and CRM applications, increasingly hosted in the cloud.

Privileged access management in the cloud is the most secure, most flexible way implement effective access controls for cloud applications.

Confirm user identities before granting or elevating privileged access

With Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), you can tie identities directly to privileged account use, so even if credentials are stolen or shared, unauthorized users can’t leverage them for privileged access.

Delinea's built-in MFA checks identities at all major access gates, including login and privilege elevation, for an added layer of identity assurance.

Meet audit and compliance requirements for educational institutions

All major compliance bodies that impact educational institutions agree that protecting privileged credentials with access control and MFA are essential elements of a security strategy.

Delinea PAM supports compliance with:

Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) to protect student records
HIPAA for electronic personal health information
PCI for credit card payments
FISMA/NIST for conducting research funded by the federal government

Protect workstations for distance learning, hybrid classrooms, and remote work

Remote students, parents, faculty, and staff must be able to access your systems securely wherever they learn and work, from their personal workstation.

With policy-based access controls and zero trust best practices, people get access only to the systems and data they need, when they need it, without the need for risky local administrator rights.
