School districts have incredible amounts of sensitive data that they need to protect. This data can include anything from student records to financial information. Protecting this data is essential, but it can be difficult to do so without the right tools. That’s where cloud security automation comes in.
Cloud security automation can help school districts keep their data safe while making it easier to comply with regulations. Cloud security automation takes the pressure and guesswork off internal IT teams by automation. Automate tools will scan your district’s cloud applications for potential problems or security risks, alert your system admins to those problems and then remediate the issue based off the set of defined policies set in place by your managed cloud provider.
Here are five reasons why every school district should consider using cloud security automation:
IT Security
In the past cloud cybersecurity has been overlooked by school district leaders leaving their infrastructure vulnerable to risks such as data breaches, ransomware and even account takeovers. When it comes to cybercrime, schools are prime targets. This is because they often have a lot of sensitive data that cybercriminals can exploit.
Cloud security automation can help protect against these threats by regularly scanning system endpoints for risk and automatically implementing the latest security measures. Human error is responsible for 95% of cloud breaches according to a report by Gartner and cloud automation reduces this risk greatly.
Reduced Costs
Cloud security automation and managed cloud services can help reduce the costs associated with protecting your data. Automation allows you to do more with less, which can lead to savings on staffing, equipment, and other resources.
Cloud security automation can also help reduce costs when it comes to data breaches. Your institution could end up owing hundreds of thousands or even millions in the event of a cyber attack. With automation, you can reduce your risk of a cyber attack in the first place and consequently save money while keeping sensitive records safe.
Ease of Use
This method is easy to use. You don’t need any special training or expertise to get started. This makes it a great option for organizations that want to protect their data but don’t have the time or resources to do so themselves.
This also takes pressure off administrators who aren’t as comfortable with technology. It allows everyone to stay connected while ANC Group does the heavy lifting to ensure your data stays safe at all times.
Flexibility
Cloud security automation is flexible, so it can be customized to meet the specific needs of your organization. This makes it a great option for organizations that have unique requirements or are facing specific threats.
For example, if you need to implement a security measure that isn’t available out of the box, cloud security automation can help. Automation gives you the power to do more with less, so you can get the protection you need without sacrificing other features.
Rapid Response
Cloud security automation allows you to respond quickly to threats, as automated systems can detect and mitigate threats much faster than humans can.
