Case study: Hillstone Networks secures the Network for Purmerendse ScholenGroep with High Performance Intelligent Next Gen Firewalls

The Purmerendse Schools Group (PSG) provides a wide range of education and training courses in secondary education for the Waterland region, in the Netherlands. It consists of six schools with an active enrollment of approximately 4000 students. The schools provide public or special education, and each location uses a diverse pedagogical-didactic approach. 
 

Just like any other educational institution PSG is confronted with the specific security challenges

• easy access to essential online educational sources and 
• maximum protection against cyber-attacks by prohibiting access to inappropriate sites

The lack of insight in and control over the network made it difficult to cope with these challenges. That is why the search for a firewall that meets all the requirements started for PSG.

The  intelligent Next Generation Firewall van Hillstone turned out the best solution for PSG.

“One of our main goals in IT is to make it as easy as possible for our users to be productive while being secure,” the IT manager stated. “We experienced ongoing issues with our previous firewall, but with Hillstone Networks, you just plug it in and it works. The platform provides a very intuitive interface that lets us easily set up policies and know they’ ll be enforced properly".
