The Zscaler App for iOS includes both Zscaler Internet Access and Zscaler Private Access modules. Mobility has raised business productivity, but it’s brought its share of issues, as well. One of the biggest challenges is the need to provide complete, consistent security across devices that you may not own. The majority of web traffic from mobile devices comes from apps, not from standard browsers, so threats may not even be visible to traditional security appliances. Note: Zscaler App is used with an active enterprise subscription to Zscaler's Mobile Security service. Please follow instructions from your IT organization to use this app. Zscaler App automatically creates a lightweight HTTP tunnel that connects the user’s endpoint to Zscaler’s cloud security platform with no need for PAC files or authentication cookies. The Zscaler Cloud Service delivers one-step enrollment, with multifactor authentication support via SAML. If you are an end-user and have issues or concerns, please reach out to your organizations support. Client Connector does not collect any personal information about you, or your device, however traffic your device sends to websites and SaaS applications is visible by your company administrators.

About

LABD 2

Features
Read full description

LABD is a laboratory inventory you can actually use while you are in the laboratory. Open it, type part of a reagent name, and it tells you which cabinet and which shelf. Take some out, tap the amount down, and the record stays true. That is the whole idea. WHAT IT DOES Find anything, fast Search every reagent across every laboratory you have access to. Diacritics are optional: type "zelazo" and it finds "Żelazo(III) chlorek". Results tell you the laboratory, the unit and the shelf. See what is running out The first thing you see is what needs restocking, across all your laboratories, worst first. Reagents that are fine stay quiet so the ones that are not stay visible. Read a whole room at a glance Every fridge and cabinet shows its contents on its own face, one band per shelf, lit in proportion to how full each reagent is. Turn the device sideways and the room fits the screen. Keep the numbers honest Changing an amount takes two taps. A run of adjustments saves as one change, and if someone else edited the same room while you were working, LABD tells you before anything is overwritten. Works when the signal does not Laboratories are often in basements. LABD renders from its cache the moment it opens and holds your edits until it can send them, and it tells you plainly when it is holding something. iPhone and iPad Both are first-class. On iPad the attention list runs in two columns and the plan fills the screen. Roles Viewers read. Editors change stock and contents. Owners manage who has access. Permissions are enforced on the server. NOTES LABD needs an account on labd2.cyber-man.pl. You can create one in the app or on the web, and delete it again from Settings. No analytics, no advertising, no tracking of any kind. The app talks to one server and nothing else.
