HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / September 23, 2024 – Tech & Learning and Identity Automation (IA) proudly announced that PhishID, an innovative phishing detection and prevention tool developed by Identity Automation, has been awarded this year’s Tech & Learning Awards of Excellence: Back to School 2024 in the Secondary category.
PhishID is specifically designed to protect K-12 educational institutions from the increasing threat of phishing attacks. Traditional anti-phishing methods often fail against new browser-based attack vectors, making school employees and students prime targets for identity theft. PhishID, a user-friendly browser plug-in, effectively identifies and blocks phishing attempts, including zero-day vulnerabilities—security flaws that are exploited by attackers before they can be patched.
What sets PhishID apart is its community aspect; it acts as a nationwide network of school systems that create a crowdsourced security fabric. This network strengthens each time a phishing attempt is intercepted, enhancing the overall security posture of educational institutions.
The Tech & Learning Awards of Excellence recognize exceptional products that offer schools versatility, value, and effective solutions to specific challenges, thereby supporting innovative teaching and learning. The award winners were selected by a panel of industry experts, highlighting products that significantly contribute to the educational sector.
“The 2024 awards program received many high-quality entries,” remarked the Tech & Learning Award editorial team. “Winning products were judged to be of the highest standard in supporting effective teaching and learning practices as schools prepare for the new year. Every winner should take great pride in their achievements.”
To assist K-12 school systems in enhancing their cybersecurity, Identity Automation is providing PhishID licenses to K-12 faculty and staff at no cost. Additionally, student licenses are available for a nominal fee. For more information about PhishID, visit Identity Automation’s website.
