Securing school networks to support learning
A privately held company, iboss was founded in 2003 with the goal of providing innovative security for today’s complex network environments. The fast growing company saw revenues double in 2013 and now holds 56 patents and patents-pending, for the unique technology they have created. Unlike many legacy security solutions, iboss was developed after the mobile revolution so its solutions were designed from the beginning to meet the challenges of the new borderless network. iboss’ unique technology is built on a stream-based approach that provides visibility and control across all inbound/outbound data channels on the network to stop incoming threats and outbound data loss. iboss currently maintains a global network of 13 data centres, including one in the UK, and works closely with its UK distribution partner Purdicom whilst also maintaining partnerships with technology leaders such as Ruckus Wireless, to ensure that seamless and secure mobile access is available across school networks.

Web Security - Integrated BYOD - Intelligent Bandwidth Management
FireSphere Layered APT Defense - Continuous Monitoring - Network Baselining - Behavioral Sandboxing

Intelligent bandwidth shaping – because network availability is critical to education, iboss provides granular control of bandwidth during peak usage hours, so access to important functions such as online testing are never jeopardised.
BYOD (bring your own device) management – iboss provides unique BYOD tools that allow schools to extend security and school usage policies to students on their personal mobile devices.
Comprehensive reporting and desktop recording – iboss provides network insight and forensic intelligence with features that include drill-down reporting, dynamic geo-mapping, real-time dashboards and exclusive desktop recording.
Data loss protection for schools Because school networks are housing more personal information on their pupils and teachers than ever before, iboss believes that schools need to be as vigilant as other organisations in safeguarding this data. With this in mind, iboss has developed innovative tools that help schools easily and eff ectively monitor and block outbound data channels so that private information doesn’t leave the school network.

mobile device management solution, also received fi ve stars across the board and was named an SC Magazine 2014 Best Buy.
