The time has come to secure all EBRPSS staff’s Office 365 accounts with Multi Factor Authentication (MFA)!   

Due the shift in cyber crimes in the last two years, cybercriminals have increasingly targeted educational institutions.    The DTS Cybersecurity team’s mission is to continuously increase confidence in the security of the digital learning environment for our students, community, and staff.

MFA for Office 365 is one of the most significant steps we can take to fight back against password compromise.  It transforms the district email access experience into a powerful multi-layered access experience.  Users are empowered to verify their identity with more than just their username and password.    

When a staff password is compromised: 

1. Cybercriminals can access JCampus, Office 365, Google, and other accounts connected to that email address
2. Cybercriminals use staff email accounts to spread malware, ransomware, phishes, and other attack vectors
3. Cybercriminals can spoof staff identities for fraudulent financial gain
