Protect & Connect® Solution

Every aspect of Exa’s products and services are designed to enhance students’ learning, as well as ensure safety online, at all times. Exa are proud to have created products which enable schools and academies to be the best that they can be.

Connectivity
Exa delivers symmetrical, full fibre connections that are completely uncongested, which ensures you receive the full bandwidth you pay for at all times.
Filtering

Our in-house content filtering platform, SurfProtect® Quantum has been designed and built by Exa to protect staff and students from inappropriate online content.

Firewalls
We protect our schools and MAT’s with Fortinet’s market-leading FortiGate VM firewall, which shares the same advanced features of the FortiGate next-generation firewall (NGFW) without requiring a physical device on site.
Routers

Our RFL (Router For Life) solution ensures that if your router breaks - even outside of the warranty period - it will be replaced completely free of charge.

Foundation
Our customers receive access to events from The Exa Foundation, which aims to improve understanding of communication technology in schools, and inspire young people to work in tech.
Extras

Protect & Connect is at the core of our business but it is also the foundation for many of our other services. With Exa’s bespoke wide area network options and flexible domain tools, you can have peace of mind that every aspect of your networking and hosting is taken care of.

Antivirus

Antivirus protection is essential to ensure your network and its data is secure. Exa recommends WatchGuard’s Panda Antivirus solutions, and provides two options to choose from: WatchGuard’s Panda Endpoint Protection and WatchGuard’s Panda Adaptive Defense 360 (AD 360).

Monitoring

Exa works with Smoothwall to provide a comprehensive monitoring solution for schools that exceeds the statutory guidance on safeguarding children under the KCSiE standards.
