Case Study: CAUDIT (Australian & NZ university IT consortium) achieves reduced credential breach risk and stronger campus password security with LastPass

Improving security for Universities starts with better passwords

CAUDIT, representing universities across Australia and New Zealand, faced rising credential-related security risks in the education sector—where stolen or weak passwords drive a large share of breaches. To address this, CAUDIT turned to LastPass, deploying LastPass Enterprise for Education to provide enterprise password management (EPM) and Single Sign-On (SSO) tailored for campus environments.

LastPass implemented a campus-wide solution with centralized admin dashboards, 100+ configurable security policies, directory and federated login integrations, MFA, secure password sharing and out-of-the-box SSO. The deployment gave IT teams actionable visibility into password habits, enforced stronger password practices, reduced password reuse and resets for staff and students, and lowered the risk of credential-based breaches—while simplifying rollout and boosting user adoption across CAUDIT member institutions.
