SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--iboss Cybersecurity, the only cybersecurity solution that detects and contains data breaches before loss occurs, announces a partnership with not-for-profit organization Jisc to provide leading web filtering and monitoring solutions to UK education and research organizations. The new partnership makes iboss the preferred supplier of cloud-based web filtering and monitoring for Jisc’s member organizations and their millions of users.
iboss provides leading cybersecurity solutions, malware protection and web content filtering directly through the cloud. Unlike other cloud-based cybersecurity companies, iboss ensures that each customer’s data is isolated in a separate cloud container. This patented node-based, containerized cloud architecture provides organizations of all sizes the confidence that their sensitive information will never overlap with that of other clients.
The unique iboss platform was selected as a preferred Jisc partner because it is well-suited to meet the distinct cybersecurity needs of education and research organizations by:
- Protecting sensitive research, student and personnel information through continuous monitoring of network data to instantly stop malicious data transfers
- Enabling data in the cloud to be stored anywhere, including within an organization's network, providing companies with regulatory or compliance concerns about the cloud the opportunity to access cloud-based security on their terms
- Securing remote offices while reducing hardware deployment and eliminating the need to backhaul data
- Protecting all mobile device users, whether they are on or off the network
- Providing the first ever Cyber Threat Score, that rates individual users and devices to stop catastrophic infection before data loss occurs
“Universities are a prime target for hackers because of the large amount of sensitive data that is stored on their networks,” said Paul Martini, CEO of iboss Cybersecurity. “Jisc represents the very best in technology solutions so we’re excited to partner with them and help bring these world-class services to their member organizations throughout the UK.”
Nelson Ody, applied network services manager at Jisc said, “In response to the government’s Prevent anti-terrorism strategy, we anticipated the need to offer our members a wider range of web filtering and monitoring solutions to suit their organization’s changing needs and requirements. Our members can now easily find a web filtering and monitoring solution that’s tailored to their organization’s strategy through our multi-supplier framework. iboss has been selected as a preferred supplier following a rigorous OJEU procurement process, offering our members greater choice and flexibility.”
Jisc provides shared digital infrastructure and services to its members, including the reliable, high-speed Janet network and a shared data center. Jisc also negotiates sector-wide deals with IT vendors and commercial publishers and provides trusted advice and practical assistance for universities, colleges and learning providers.
Leveraging leading threat protection and unsurpassed usability, iboss is trusted by thousands of organizations and millions of users worldwide. The firm’s 4,000+ enterprise clients include Xerox, Sears and the U.S. Department of the Interior.
