Cybersecurity Help for K-12 Schools

Through the Cybersecurity Infrastructure & Security Agency (CISA), the US federal government has provided guidance to K-12 schools on how to stay secure in a period of increasing ransomware attacks, account takeovers, and other kinds of security incidents. At Aurora, we support the mission and the desire to protect our educators, parents, and students from cybersecurity threats—and we have a history of working with schools and districts around the country to improve learning technology and educational technology infrastructure. Through our parent company, Plurilock, Aurora is able to offer a flagship cybersecurity platform, Plurilock AI, to schools and districts at pricing that makes sense for K-12 education, and to help schools and districts to deploy and configure it well.

Plurilock AI supports a number of the recommendations that CISA provides for K-12 environments, including:

Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
A strong default security posture
Moving fundamental security controls to the cloud

The platform provides single sign-on (SSO) functionality, to enable your staff and students to access all of their applications with a single, MFA-protected login; strong access controls to provide guardrails about what can and can't be done with learning technology, from which locations, and at which time of day; and strong data loss prevention tools to help prevent inappropriate sharing of all kinds, even if unintended, by students, faculty, or staff.

State and Local Grant Program
