Zscaler and Saasyan have partnered, offering K-12 schools a no-compromise integrated solution leveraging best-in-class cyber security and student safety and wellbeing.
With online learning, both in and out of the classroom and with school-issued devices being the new normal for students in K-12, there is a new battleground in managing cyber security, ensuring access to appropriate content and safeguarding students from cyberbullying, self-harm and threats of violence.
With the adoption of collaboration tools such as Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 for chat and email as an essential part of the learning experience, keeping track of a student's online activities has become exponentially more complex.
Traditional approaches to addressing this problem require schools to make compromises between best-in-class cyber security products, K-12 centric features and student safety solutions. All of which creates additional work and overhead for IT support classroom teachers and wellbeing staff.
The Zero Trust Exchange provide secure communications for users, workloads, and devices, based on identity and location, with consistent security policies over any network, across any location. The Zero Trust Exchange is an integrated platform of services, delivered from the cloud, that provide secure user-to-app, app-to-app and machine-machine communication over any network or device.
Saasyan Assure integrates with the Zero Trust Exchange to provide schools a safe environment for their students on the internet.
Saasyan Assure is an AI-powered student safety & wellbeing solution enabling schools to detect and intervene against student cyberbullying, self-harm, suicide & threats of violence and terror.
Saasyan applies advanced analytics and AI to monitor, alert and report across all student digital activities, including in chat, email, search, websites, social posts and videos.
Our cloud-based software-as-a-service solution integrates and leverages data and technologies already deployed by schools such as identity management systems, next-generation firewalls and productivity platforms including Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. It then applies multiple levels of intelligence including a crowd-sourced words and phrases dictionary, fuzzy logic, natural language processing and cohort analysis to determine context and identify high-risk outlier student online activities.
Saasyan’s automated alerts and on-demand reports enable wellbeing counsellors to detect and respond to high-risk student behavioural and emotional indicators early, safeguard students across all their digital interactions and deliver on their student duty of care responsibilities.
Assure receives the telemetry from Zscaler via the Nanolog Streaming Service (NSS). Using this rich data set, Assure analytics is able to detect high-risk student behavioural and emotional indicators early.
Leveraging Zscaler’s APIs, Assure can create security policies to facilitate self-service classroom management and control.
