Recently, a serious leakage of student information occurred in a certain university. A graduate student at the school used professional technology to steal the personal information of all students in the school, including photos, names, student numbers, place of origin, birthdays, etc., and established a website to rate appearance. In response to this situation, the police immediately launched an investigation after receiving the call.
This incident quickly aroused widespread social concern and once again pushed the issue of information security into the public eye. Zhu Wei, deputy director of the Communication Law Research Center of China University of Political Science and Law, pointed out, "Internal personnel with certain authority should not be allowed to obtain such high-level personal information. This special information should be in the hands of professionally trained staff."
In recent years, personal information leaks have occurred frequently. How to ensure the security of important data assets, how to control the access behavior of users with "legal identities", and how to prevent such data leaks from happening again?
Schools can use IAM technology (Identity Security Management and Access Control) to establish a unified identity management and permission control platform to achieve unified management of the digital identities of students, teachers and staff. Each user will be granted a unique identity. Users can access the application system through multiple identity verification methods such as QR code scanning, OTP/Ukey, face, voiceprint, and fingerprint, etc., thereby improving the overall security protection capabilities of the information system and effectively avoiding possible identity fraud risks.
The platform will conduct detection and trust assessment for every access initiated by the user side, including whether the terminal is trusted, whether the terminal environment is safe and up to standard, and whether the current user has permission to access this data, etc. Once the trust assessment result does not meet the standards, the access control policy will be dynamically adjusted immediately, including lowering the access level, enhancing secondary authentication, cutting off the current session, etc., to ensure that users comply with the policy through controlled terminals, controlled networks and trusted authentication method to access resources.
At the same time, schools can also set differentiated viewing permissions for students' personal information for different types of personnel. For example, basic information such as students' names, dates of birth, scores in various subjects, and health status can be viewed by administrators within a specific range; while some more sensitive personal information of students, such as ID numbers, bank card numbers, etc., should be monitored more closely. Protection, ensuring that each user can only access information within his or her authority, strictly restricting unauthorized users’ access to sensitive personal information and data, and avoiding the risk of information and data leakage and abuse.
This information leakage incident of college students has been a wake-up call for the whole society. In this information age, all walks of life must realize the importance of information protection and data security, continuously strengthen technical protection methods, and build an indestructible digital identity security defense line. !
