Onward Homes Implements iboss Secure Web Gateway

This case study details the transition of Onward Homes to iboss’ Zero Trust SASE platform for enhanced web security. Onward Homes, a significant social housing provider in the North West of England, faced challenges with its legacy web filtering solution as it expanded its hybrid working model.

After evaluating various options, Onward selected iboss to provide a cloud-native Secure Web Gateway that supports a hybrid workforce. The implementation of iboss has improved security, user experience, and productivity while reducing IT workload and costs. Key features include rapid policy updates, robust security controls, and a consistent user experience across locations. The case study also highlights future plans for mobile filtering capabilities, ensuring comprehensive web protection as the organization continues to grow. Overall, the transition to iboss has allowed Onward to focus on delivering essential housing services while maintaining secure online operations.
