Campus helpdesks are often overrun with password reset calls during high-traffic periods such as new semesters and end of year exam periods. Institutions also have a responsibility to protect student and faculty’s personally identifiable information. Confidential files such as payment information and home addresses mean data within the education sector can often be the target of unauthorized data breaches. A breach in one account may cause a ripple effect in another. Robust password management is needed due to these justified security concerns.
Protecting confidential student and faculty data is not just an organization requirement – it’s also a legal one. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects the privacy of student education records, in addition to state privacy protection laws. Failure to abide by FERPA can result in serious consequences including job termination, loss of federal funding to the institution, or possible prosecution.
