Case Study: Prince Alfred College achieves 24x7 cybersecurity and nearly 80% fewer support incidents with Bitdefender

Prince Alfred College Notches High Cybersecurity Scores

Prince Alfred College, a leading K‑12 boys’ school in South Australia, was facing hundreds of IT support incidents after its previous security software caused macOS devices to lose Internet access and shut down. The school selected Bitdefender—deploying Bitdefender MDR Foundations and Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise—to find a reliable, macOS‑friendly security solution that would stop disruptive endpoint failures and restore classroom productivity.

Bitdefender implemented 24x7 monitoring and managed detection-and-response across 1,250 workstations and servers, protecting macOS, Windows, Linux and virtual environments and integrating with key apps and services. As a result, Prince Alfred College reports no security breaches since deployment, nearly an 80% reduction in security‑related support incidents, stabilized endpoints (no more random network drops), and significant cost savings versus hiring an equivalent in‑house SOC—outcomes delivered by Bitdefender’s MDR and GravityZone solutions.
