Elevating Privacy with Anonymous Users Feature

The Cyber Range introduced the Anonymous Users feature in FY 2024, enhancing privacy protection for students and teaching assistants that engage in Cyber Range activities. This feature allows organizations to generate anonymous credentials, ensuring user identities remain confidential while using the Cyber Range platform.
Maintaining anonymity helps organizations comply with strict student data privacy regulations, reducing the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access. The anonymous users feature strengthens the Cyber Range’s commitment to student data privacy, joining existing safeguards designed to minimize the collection and exposure of personal information.
In addition to anonymous logins, the Cyber Range implements several measures to further protect student privacy. Instead of requiring instructors to manually enter personal details, students can self-register using invitation codes, ensuring their identities remain confidential from the outset. The platform also minimizes data collection by leveraging open standards for access delegation, reducing the need to store identifying information.
With these measures in place, the Cyber Range continues to prioritize student privacy, reinforcing its role as a leader in secure, responsible cyber education.
