Simplifying authentication of the Chromebooks which are heavily used in educational settings.
Using G Suite Admin Console* to make initial setup easier.
The Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's "GIGA School Program" has been accelarating the realization of "1 device for 1 student with a high-speed network" environments at schools. Additionally, due to the extension of school closures as a preventative measure against the spread of COVID-19, the implementation of environments capable of online classes has become an urgent must.
Against this backdrop, Chromebooks - which are simple to set up and operate in educational settings, and reduce installation and operation costs - are continually being introduced to classrooms. At Digital Arts, we provide our web security product "i-FILTER@Cloud" GIGA School Edition that helps create a safer learning environment in the cloud so that educational institutions can easily introduce web filtering on Chromebooks which are commonly used in classrooms. This product is equipped with a new feature that allows passwordless authentication, reducing the time and effort previously required to enter a password when authenticating a Chromebook. Additionally, the initial setup process has been made easier with the use of the G Suite Admin Console*.
