ContentKeeper is widely considered one of the best filtering solutions for the K-12 market.

The merger has made Impero a global organization with customers in over 100 countries and will help the company accelerate its product roadmap and accrue added revenue.

ContentKeeper’s leading technology will also help the combined entity achieve growth in the market and become a major player in the wider Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)/Zero-Trust Network Architecture (ZTNA) cloud-based future.
