Education

Universities struggle to maintain security and provide convenience when authenticating personnel and student bodies for scenarios like password reset and remote access. Traditional methods result in poor user experience, increased operational cost, and risk associated with account compromise. TeleSign reduces costs associated with help desk calls and increases account security by authenticating users in real-time using the simplest and most widely deployed technology available — the telephone.

Better User Experience

• Students and faculty can reset their passwords in real time, 24/7, and quickly continue with their work

Stronger Security
