Cloudcoco partnered with Jisc, a trusted digital procurement authority in UK education to promote the SGLA platform to institutions that need it.
The new platform was created in collaboration with Fortinet.
Mark Halpin, CEO of CloudCoCo, said: “The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on international students has been well-publicised and I’m pleased we’ve been able, alongside Fortinet, to devise a solution with the potential to help the students continue their studies from abroad while providing vital support to universities in the UK.”
