Off-network, on their own: a practical way to rollout MFA for high school, secondary school students

High school and secondary school students are your riskiest population, and they’re also about to become your most independent one. They’re logging in from home, from part-time jobs, from friends’ devices, communicating and authenticating far outside the protection of your school network, because they need to. At the same time, they’re just months away from needing strong digital literacy habits for college and university or their first job. Get MFA right for this group now, and you’re solving two problems at once: reducing your current risk exposure and truly preparing them for what’s next. This session is a practical, technical walkthrough of rolling out MFA to high school and secondary students. We’ll cover: – Why your oldest students represent your highest-risk, highest-stakes population, and how that should shape rollout priority – A live demo of native Google and Entra MFA protection, showing the real student-facing flow – Device-free MFA methods designed to look and feel mature, not built for young children, so students take the process seriously and don’t route around it – How to configure re-authentication frequency settings to hold up against off-network logins without overwhelming your help desk Leave with a practical MFA rollout approach built for how students actually authenticate, that sets them up for a secure future.
