Case Study: Dysart Unified School District achieves secure, uninterrupted student web browsing with Barracuda Networks

Barracuda Web Filter Provides Safe Web Browsing Experience For Dysart Students

Dysart Unified School District, serving 26,000 students and 3,000 staff across more than 140 square miles in Arizona, struggled with unreliable web filtering: frequent service interruptions, virus and malware infiltration, student exposure to unsafe sites, wasted bandwidth on gaming/streaming, a complex admin interface, and poor vendor support under its previous solution. CIO John Andrews needed a dependable, easy-to-manage content-control solution to protect users and reduce administrative overhead.

Dysart deployed the Barracuda Web Filter 1010, which delivered immediate stability, comprehensive malware protection, granular visibility into user activity, and simple, fast reporting. The result was a secure network and safer browsing for students, improved productivity, time-saving administration, and responsive, award-winning customer support.
