In a world filled with ransomware attacks and security breaches, keeping your students’ data safe is essential. Taking every available measure to house and protect student data safely is the first step in preventing a potential disaster. Aeries Cloud Hosting can help alleviate those fears and give you the peace of mind you deserve.
While there are a multitude of benefits of moving to a hosted environment, let’s dive into the top four!
1. Top-Notch Security Measures
While keeping up with software updates and patches may sound like enough effort, unpatched vulnerabilities are now exploited by attackers faster than ever before. Increasingly, K-12 institutions are being targeted, as noted by the FBI, CISA, and MS-ISAC. Aeries Cloud Hosting benefits your district by providing an extra layer of protection against these threats, helping you avoid ransomware or DDoS attacks.
2. Increased Protection Through Compliance Efforts
Going hosted means you will be protected by our efforts to adhere to NIST 800-53, 800-171, and 800-218 standards, as well as third-party audits such as those conducted by iKeepSafe. Additionally, third-party integrations you currently have in place can be migrated to increase reliability and security of the data exchange process.
3. Disaster Recovery
If your server is outdated, it’s more likely to crash suddenly. Hardware failures are less likely to happen when you are in a hosted environment because of AWS’s industry-leading infrastructure, which includes redundancy at every possible layer (e.g., hardware, power, water, cooling, telecom). Additionally, data can be rolled back or recovered from a previous time if needed.
4. Amazon Web Services: Reliability, Security, and Expertise
AWS is the industry leader in providing a highly secure infrastructure to ensure the privacy of your data. It’s well-known for its stability, maturity, and embrace of open-source technologies. Through our partnership, Aeries and AWS experts work together to deliver world-class service, which will provide you with savings in time and money, resiliency against modern attacks, and more sustainable computing.
The transition to going hosted is so quick and seamless that end users may only notice that the URL has changed! Your interface won’t be affected, meaning there will be no disruption to your users, so they can go on with their day.
And as for your team, you won’t have to worry about negative implications! In fact, most districts maintain exactly the same level of staffing. Still, they may reassign staff to new tasks where they had previously been assigned hardware and software maintenance. Best of all, this frees up your staff to focus more directly on what really matters in your mission to promote student success. Talk about a win-win all around.
