Getting hacked a second time so soon may be indicative of a serious vulnerability,"* reported David Louie from ABC. Stanford is now part of a growing list of universities and education establishments being targeted by hackers.

This incident, however, raises a bigger question about the role of mobile devices and social media within traditional hardware or appliance based security environments. Any student with a mobile device can access the Internet directly, completely by-passing universities’ network and increasing security and compliance risks. Students can now represent the single biggest risk to the university network. Zscaler offers a new approach to this problem. We operate the world's largest Direct-to-Cloud global network with 100 data centers, providing advanced web security and real-time global policy enforcement, protecting students even if they are accessing the Internet outside the university network. Zscaler has unique experience protecting educational institutions, including the largest university and school system in North Carolina, as well as Centro Paula Souza, the largest school system in Brazil. Zscaler provides more than just URL Filtering and protecting the security server or appliance. Zscaler focuses on protecting the user and device against today's sophisticated, emerging threats including botnets, malicious active content, phishing, cross site scripting (XSS) attacks and more, guaranteeing safe browsing at all times.
