Zscaler for Education
We support K-12 and higher education institutions in their mission to transform and modernize securely. The Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange™ platform enables a cost-effective IT architecture for the seamless and secure exchange of information, protecting against cyberthreats and enhancing the user experience.
A better way to stop ransomware
Ransomware remains a major threat, with an increase in attacks via encrypted mechanisms creating a blind spot in many school systems. Attacks are commonly crafted to each target, whether a specific school or even a specific administrator, exploiting gaps in traditional security solutions. Gain 100% visibility and a better approach to eliminating these common blind spots and stopping ransomware cold.
