August 2024:
NEW: K12 Connected User Experience System (CUES)
Impact Timeline
Full implementation will start in the 2025 school year, however our team is already hard at work to ensure a seamless implementation. There will be no impact on the start of the 2024-25 school year and no need to begin working on anything at the district or school level at this time. We understand the importance of clear communication and will keep all stakeholders informed throughout the process. As with most KETS projects, an advisory group has been created with representatives from each region who will be available for consultations and updates as we move forward.

Scope of Services
The CUES project will offer a range of identity management services to Kentucky school districts and will be the new KETS standard for both identity and directory services. Our products of focus for the CUES initiative are Munis, Infinite Campus, Azure (e.g., Microsoft ecosystem), Google domain (e.g., Google ecosystem), and Clever:
Baseline Services (State-funded shared service, no cost to districts): These include core functionalities such as user authentication, authorization, and account management, ensuring that every user has secure and seamless access to necessary resources.
The baseline products are Lifecycle Management (Identity Management), Authentication (SSO - One-Click Access, Workflow (Privileged Access Management), Studio, and Increased Threat Visibility with SafeID and ShieldID. Managed Support will include a Technical Account Manager as well as Dedicated Support Engineers.
Post Baseline Implementation:
Optional Services (District funded): Districts can opt for additional services like PhishID (Phishing Prevention Software) and Security Management (SIEM/SOAR solution that feeds in data from RapidIdentity, Google, Active Directory, and Azure to alert on security incidents defined in the solution).
