High security is a priority for a career school management system. Why?
Many career school management systems are not as secure as they need to be. In fact, a recent study by Security Scorecards* found that educational institutions with an online presence are the LEAST secure of ALL industries. Many career schools and colleges use a variety of Web applications to serve their needs.
Sadly, according to a 2019 study by Verizon,** the use of unsecure third-party applications is one of the common ways that hackers gain access to school and student information systems. Our STARS (Student Tracking and Accounting Records System) software runs on an enterprise grade IBMi Power 9 server that provides the HIGHEST level of security available. In addition, the STARS system is comprehensive, meaning that post-secondary schools do not need to risk using additional third-party applications to meet their needs.
