Case Study: IDEA Public Schools achieves Zero Trust security with iboss

IDEA Public Schools secures 84,000+ students with iboss

IDEA Public Schools, a large charter network serving over 84,000 students across 145 schools, faced the challenge of securing a growing mobile population as learning tools moved to the cloud. Their legacy hardware firewalls and DNS filtering were insufficient for providing secure, identity-based access from any location, especially for external vendors, while also needing to comply with E-Rate program regulations.

The iboss solution implemented a Zero Trust SASE platform, specifically an E-Rate compliant FWaaS, to inspect all traffic in the cloud. This augmented their existing security by applying consistent, granular policies based on user identity. As a result, IDEA Public Schools achieved faster threat detection, ensured E-Rate compliance, simplified secure vendor whitelisting with dedicated IP space, and provided continuous protection for all users on any platform from any location.
