May 31, 2023

Protecting student data is more critical than ever. Aeries Cloud Hosting delivers top-tier security, reliability, and peace of mind while allowing your district to focus on what truly matters—promoting student success....

Keeping your students’ data safe is essential in a world filled with ransomware attacks and security breaches. Taking every available measure to safely house and protect student data 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 moving to a hosted environment has many benefits, let’s dive into the top four!

 

1. Top-Notch Security Measures

Staying on top of software updates and patches is crucial, but attackers exploit unpatched vulnerabilities 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.

Key Takeaway:
With Aeries Cloud Hosting, your district benefits from advanced security features designed specifically for the education sector.

 

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.

Third-Party Integration Made Simple:
Third-party integrations you currently have in place can be migrated to increase the reliability and security of the data exchange process.

 

3. Reliable Disaster Recovery You Can Count On

If your server is outdated, it’s more likely to crash suddenly. Hardware failures are less likely to happen 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).

Peace of Mind:
Even in the event of a disaster, your data can be rolled back or restored, minimizing interruptions to your operations.

 

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 Aeries’ partnership with AWS, your district gains access to world-class expertise and infrastructure.

The Result? Reduced costs, stronger resiliency against cyberattacks, and a more sustainable IT environment for your district.
 

 

The Transition to Aeries Cloud Hosting

It’s a win-win: Robust security and reliability for your district, and more time for your team to focus on what truly matters.
