Case Study: Sallie B. Howard School for the Arts and Education achieves internet-browsing protection and centralized endpoint security with BeyondTrust

Sallie B. Howard School for the Arts Removes the Risk Behind Internet Browsing

Sallie B. Howard School for the Arts and Education, a charter arts school in Wilson, NC serving many underprivileged students, needed to keep Internet access open for creative learning while stopping malware, phishing and students bypassing filters. Existing Symantec antivirus and SonicWall content filtering failed to stop zero‑day threats, social‑engineering attacks and proxy workarounds, leaving machines infected and email accounts turned into spam‑sending bots.

The school implemented BeyondTrust’s PowerBroker Endpoint Protection Platform (PBEPP) with Retina CS for centralized management and behavior‑based, zero‑day protection. The integrated solution replaced multiple agents, blocked proxies and suspicious behaviors, provided network visibility and remote patching, and immediately detected previously missed infections—saving time and money while tightening security across 328 PCs.
