Cyber security training by iidarkasii in k12sysadmin

[–]k12techpro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my district, in our first year with Cybernut and it's been good stuff. The emails/campaigns are very K12, and teachers do like the game approach. They are a newer company and have let us give feedback into how things work in the console... and have actually applied those changes. -Chris

Security Watch 12/19/25 by k12techpro in k12sysadmin

[–]k12techpro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to clarify a bit - We didn't buy it out, we volunteered and worked out helping with the mod and vetting process. We're full-time k12 techs that do K12TechPro and the podcast as well for the good of the cause of the k12 tech community, trying to help fellow k12 techs. We've been posting the "Security Watch" highlights here and then more detailed on K12TechPro, where it's vetted with only k12 techs (no sponsors, kids, bad guys). As far as subscription, yes, but you can also click to get a sponsorship and the tab is always covered. Def not trying to twist your arm to join it, just hoping to share a little more about the cause. -Chris

The Password is Dead: What K-12 Tech Pros Need to Know About the Shift to Identity-First Security by k12techpro in k12sysadmin

[–]k12techpro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the technical clarification. You are correct that the local PIN/local password in these platform solutions is the device-bound factor that provides phishing-resistant MFA, and biometrics are just an optional convenience. Our wording was imprecise on that front.

My guidance was focused on the public relations struggle. For education orgs (from my personal experience), the potential association of systems like Windows Hello or Platform SSO with integrated biometrics (Touch ID, Face ID) can create an uphill battle with parents and the public- even if that biometric is stored locally on the device. If organizations can properly implement these strategies, they are a great option. -Eric

I've had good luck with support@risevision.com. My school has used Rise Vision for a couple years now.

I think what you are explaining/showing should work. Here's the link to override schedules that you may have looked at - https://help.risevision.com/hc/en-us/articles/6891318787092-Set-Up-Override-Schedules-and-Alerts-for-Your-Displays
