iboss is a Zero Trust SASE platform built for the AI era. It brings web filtering, CASB, DLP, ZTNA, SD-WAN, and AI visibility into one cloud platform, governed by a single policy engine.

The platform secures more than 100 billion connections every day for organisations worldwide. iboss is recognised as a GigaOm SASE Radar Leader for 2026.

Phoenix works with iboss to help UK public sector organisations retire ageing security appliances. Together we protect users, data, and applications wherever people choose to work.

iboss solutions

We can support you across the full iboss platform. These are the capabilities our public sector customers ask about most.

All internet traffic is inspected in the cloud, including encrypted traffic, without backhauling users through a central site. Policy follows the user rather than the location.

For schools, trusts, and colleges this supports safeguarding duties and age-appropriate filtering. For every organisation it gives a clear audit trail of what was accessed, by whom, and when.

ZTNA gives people access to named applications instead of the whole network. Lateral movement is removed, so a compromised device cannot become a compromised estate.

Legacy VPN concentrators can be retired. Users get a faster connection to the systems they need, and IT teams lose a hardware refresh cycle.

Cloud application controls show which services are in use across your organisation, including the ones nobody approved. Policy can allow, block, or restrict each one.

Data loss prevention inspects content leaving the organisation and stops sensitive records going where they should not. That includes personal data, case files, patient information, and financial records.

Generative AI tools have arrived in every organisation, often ahead of policy. iboss shows which AI services staff are using and what data is being pasted into them.

You can then set proportionate rules. Approve the tools you have assessed, restrict the rest, and give your information governance team the evidence they need.

Sites connect to the cloud platform directly rather than through a central data centre. Branch firewalls and proxies can be consolidated into the same policy engine.

This suits multi-site estates such as councils, trusts, hospital sites, fire stations, and campuses.

Real-time reporting covers every user, device, and connection from one console. Reports can be produced for governors, boards, auditors, and regulators without manual collation.

iboss is FedRAMP Authorized in the United States, evidence of the assurance standard the platform is built to meet.

Our partnership with iboss

Phoenix are an iboss Business Platinum Partner. We understand how public sector organisations buy, how they are governed, and how much change their teams can absorb at once.

Our security specialists will help you scope, pilot, deploy, and run iboss. We will map the platform against what you already own, so you replace tools rather than stack them. We will also help you build the business case for retiring legacy hardware.

Where you would rather hand the day to day to someone else, our managed IT security services can run the platform on your behalf.

What iboss means for your sector

The pressures differ by sector. The underlying problem is the same, which is protecting people and data outside a perimeter that no longer holds.

Consolidate security tooling during reorganisation, and bring merging estates onto one policy without a hardware programme.

Policing and defence

Controlled, inspected internet access for mobile and remote officers, with the audit trail that sensitive work demands.

Healthcare

Protect clinical data across shared devices, community teams, and multiple sites, without slowing people down at the point of care.

Higher and further education

Secure open, high-volume networks and unmanaged student devices, while keeping research and campus services accessible.

Schools and trusts

Filtering and monitoring that supports safeguarding duties, applied consistently across school sites and devices taken home.

Charity and social impact

Enterprise grade protection for lean IT teams, delivered as a service rather than as a set of appliances to maintain.

iboss FAQs

A VPN puts a user on your network and trusts them once they are there. Zero trust gives access to named applications only, and rechecks identity, device, and policy on every request. Nothing else on the network is reachable or even visible.

In most cases, yes. iboss consolidates secure web gateway, CASB, DLP, ZTNA, and branch security into one platform. We will review your existing contracts and renewal dates before recommending anything.

iboss supports UK data residency, so traffic is inspected in UK data centres and your organisation keeps dedicated IP address space.

The platform shows which AI services are being used and what data is being shared with them. You can then approve, restrict, or block services individually, and evidence those decisions to your information governance team.

We can supply iboss through the procurement routes public sector organisations already use.
