Re-affirming their commitment to the security and confidentiality of their member’s data, CampusEAI has engaged with Ciphent to provide advanced security testing services on their myCampus application and hosting network architecture.

Data protection issues are becoming more critical in the education space with new and evolving compliance regulations, security requirements and disclosure laws. “In order to continue providing the highest level of service to our members, CampusEAI has rolled out an application assessment program with Ciphent to ensure our myCampus portal is rigorously tested and assessed on an on-going basis” said Anjli Jain, CampusEAI Executive Director. “The security and confidentiality of our member’s data is our number one priority and we are pleased to have Ciphent’s expert application security team helping us ensure their data, stays their data.”

Ciphent will be monitoring and testing CampusEAI’s myCampus portal on a routine basis with a strong focus on access controls and data confidentiality. “SaaS portals can save organizations plenty of money on infrastructure and maintenance costs, in addition to offloading the rigorous job of data protection and information security” said Prem Iyer, Director of Cyber Security Services. “CampusEAI is not standing idly by as threats to applications increase. Ciphent is honored to stand by such an organization that is taking security seriously…pro-actively ensuring their customer’s data is private, confidential and secure.”
