Navigating the Future of Secure Research and Learning

In the modern education landscape, the browser is the primary gateway to learning. Whether it’s a student accessing coursework on a personal laptop or a faculty member collaborating on global projects, your institution’s data is constantly in motion. Education leaders today face a common challenge: maintaining an “open” digital culture while defending against mounting pressure from Shadow IT, sophisticated phishing, and the risk of data breaches.

How do you protect a diverse campus community without hindering the digital experience that drives success?

Join us on 20 March at 2:00 PM for an exclusive session where we delve into the transition from traditional, high-maintenance security to Agentless Zero Trust. Learn how to transform the browser from a simple tool into a strategic security layer that protects your students, your staff, and your reputation.

• Visibility into the ‘Known Unknowns’: Identify and secure unsanctioned SaaS tools and apps used across your departments without resorting to aggressive blocking.
• Replacing the VPN Struggle: Discover why an “agentless” Zero Trust approach is more scalable, cost-effective, and user-friendly for a hybrid workforce and student body.
• Comprehensive Data Protection: Use in-browser Data Loss Prevention (DLP) to prevent leaks of sensitive student and institutional data, whether on managed or personal devices.
• AI-Powered Threat Defence: See how deep scanning and real-time protection provide a superior defence against phishing attacks targeting educational institutions.
