Operational Impact
The implementation of Zscaler's Direct-to-Cloud Network has significantly improved the operational efficiency of Swisscom's initiative. The solution's granularly adjustable options have allowed each cantonal school network to be equipped with individual policies, ensuring that students are only accessing age-appropriate content. The security updates for newly emerging threats are made once in the cloud, significantly reducing Swisscom's administrative effort. Furthermore, the solution's automated reporting functionality has further reduced administrative effort. The solution has also proven to be capable of handling the large data volume of the schools and providing advanced threat protection. | |
