How can I increase security and prevent EDT accounts from being hacked? (EDT Network)
Account piracy refers to a malicious individual taking control of an account to the detriment of its rightful owner. All the cases observed on our software relate to identity fraud are by theft of the username and password.
Here are our recommendations for strengthening security and preventing identity theft.
Here are our recommendations for strengthening security and preventing identity theft.
Recommendation No. 1: Follow CNIL (French Data Protection Authority) recommendations for passwords
By default, password security options follow CNIL recommendations. You can verify these rules by going to the menu Parameters > Options > Security. If the recommended rules are not applied, a red cross is displayed.
Caution, rule changes apply only to future personalizations. To ensure that all passwords used quickly comply with the new rules, it is necessary to force the changing of passwords.
Recommendation No. 2: Impose the use of dual authentication
Double authentication is an effective security measure that requires teachers and staff to enter a code PIN (4-digit minimum) when logging on from a new device.
In practical terms, this prevents a student who has stolen a teacher's password from logging on from home.
Dual authentication is enabled by default in EDT. You can control this setting in the menu Parameters > Options > Security.

Recommendation No. 3: Make sure there is one user = one account = one password
To find out who has performed a malicious action, make sure that each user has his/her own account.
For example, don't use a single "AED (Educational assistant)" account for all the educational assistants.
