Secure messaging allows users, and groups to immediately communicate without email.

Secure Messaging  has never been as easy as it is with the IDentifyED System!

What is your email address?  I don’t want:

  • Share my email address
  • Spam
  • Viruses
  • Malware
  • Spyware
  • Ransomware

However, I do want to get an electronic message from you or the school.  If your campus/school does not want to go into the email business or get out of the business.

The answer is:

IDentifyED Campus/School Messaging.

Secure Messaging, what is expected and needed  for your campus?

Campuses and users expect tools that social networking services, provide; Like Messaging. Organizations like the idea of a connected network of  users, they want to have to compromise anyone’s privacy, safety or security to get it done. They really don’t want to deal with the headaches of email either.

Schools in order to trust communication need to assure privacy, authentication, data, and have auditable communications. The school can protect its reputation, students, parents, faculty and staff without the right tools. These safe guards can never and will never be available with email or public open social media solutions. So, what can be done?

What secure messaging services are students using on campus?

Most people would point to public social networking (Insecure, Not Private) platforms like: Facebook, Google and Twitter dominate this landscape, as notable majorities of U.S. adults use each of these sites. But they are not secure messaging platformst are they?

At the same time, younger Americans (especially those ages 18 to 24) stand out for embracing a variety of platforms and using them frequently. Some 78% of 18- to 24-year-olds use Snapchat, and a sizeable majority of these users (71%) visit the platform multiple times per day. Similarly, 71% of Americans in this age group now use Instagram and close to half (45%) are Twitter users. (according to the Pew Report).

What Secure Messaging  and chat services are they using on campus?

Facebook and YouTube dominate this landscape, as notable majorities of U.S. adults use each of these sites. At the same time, younger Americans (especially those ages 18 to 24) stand out for embracing a variety of platforms and using them frequently. Some 78% of 18- to 24-year-olds use Snapchat, and a sizeable majority of these users (71%) visit the platform multiple times per day. Similarly, 71% of Americans in this age group now use Instagram and close to half (45%) are Twitter users. (according to the Pew Report).

What are campuses using for Secure Messaging platforms?

Many K-College campuses use learning management systems, while corporate, goverment and hospitals rely primarily on email.  Both  are limited in their embrace of communication, create specific security issues, user managment issues and have legacy burdensome interfaces.

Most don’t provide any type of campus safety messaging function they are simple message boards.

So, in order to reach users, campuses, groups and administrators feel like they are forced to reach out to users on email or open, unsecure social networking/media platforms or go without.

So, what is the harm of your campus embracing open public messaging instead of secure messaging?

So, what is the harm in allowing students and teachers to communicate via Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat or Instagram?

Users do it all day, why not?

Here are some issues to consider:

1Social media companies make their money by allowing 3rd parties to access personal private information. So, users’ privacy and chats are not assured at all.

2School’s don’t own the data nor can they access it, so that’s a big problem in terms of risk, liability and litigation.

3There is no way to truly authenticate a user on a social media chat session.

4If the school doesn’t own the data, the authentication, and cannot truly access it, who can you hold accountable for a communication that was inappropriate, when the user can simply say: “it was not me, that is not the correct information.”

5If the school does own the data, they can monitor the communication infrastructure so that they can manage risk, liability, negligence, and litigation risk.

If a campus creates its own campus secure messaging solution?

  • School could authenticate everyone.
  • Own the data.
  • Assure privacy.
  • Assure security.
  • Audit communications.
  • Provide actual valuable solutions by having a solution that provides not only chat but:
    1. User, Group and Course Message Boards
    2. Campus safety messaging (inbox/outbox)
    3. File Sharing
    4. Picture Sharing
    5. Calendar Sharing
    6. Location Sharing

What are you saying? A campus secure messaging system provided the correct way could actually be useful?

Yes!
