While students clear their desks, fire up their laptops, and prepare for a new academic year, IT teams across K-12 and higher education are fast at work to ensure their schools are prepared to support an incoming class.
Supporting students and faculty certainly looks different this year. On the heels of the 2020 pandemic, many schools and higher education institutes are continuing to offer remote and hybrid working and learning environments. What was once a reactive approach to keep students, faculty, and staff safe, is now a proactive strategy to increase flexibility and accessibility to learning for all.
But with the increase in remote working and learning comes an increase in responsibility and risk. IT teams must select the appropriate IT stack to provide simple tools and resources that users at all levels can engage with to be productive, efficient, and secure.
Read on to see how LastPass can help you ace cybersecurity this semester as we head back to school.
Convenient, simple password storage and sharing across campus
Generate unique passwords, easily save and fill credentials, and utilize secure and flexible sharing for collaborative teams – from IT to the marketing department, even those external to your organization, such as students and alumni – all while maintaining accountability.
Gain control of employee-student hybrid environments
When most IT departments include student employees, it’s important to use the intuitive and centralized Admin console to gain greater insight into your working environment. By using generated passwords and revoking access in real time, LastPass ensures that your institution’s data doesn’t depart each semester with staff and students.
Flexible to your institute
We know it’s not one size fits all, and you may have different requirements, needs and budget. Through scalable, automated integrations with user directories, LastPass simplifies employee onboarding and offboarding by providing seamless integrations for Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft Azure AD, OneLogin, and Okta.
Trusted by your peers in academia
LastPass’ password manager is trusted by your peers in academia, with over 1,200 higher education customers and counting, including Harvard University, Duke University, Georgia Technical Institute and more. LastPass helps IT employees, faculty, staff, and students secure credentials across a variety of platforms to keep sensitive institution and personal data safe.
“When I give presentations on general security and password managers, if LastPass comes up, there’s always a few people who say they use it, they love it, or they can’t see themselves using anything but it in the future, says Miguel Sanchez, Cybersecurity Specialist at Harvard University. “They like the idea of having only one password, not having to fill anything in ever again, and not having to come up with new passwords.”
Share Family benefits, however you define the term
LastPass Families gives users and 5 family members, friends, or roommates their own private vault to store and access credentials and specify those meant for sharing. They can store everything from passwords to passports and collaborate easily with the ability to access that shared Netflix account, log in to pay shared bills, and never be locked out of any personal or shared account again.
Increase control and visibility with a password manager that is easy to manage and effortless to use – for your school and your family.
