Case Study: Volusia County Schools enhances Microsoft Office 365 security with Clearswift

Clearswift Enhances Information Security in Microsoft Office 365

Volusia County Schools, the public school district serving over 80 schools and 63,000 students in Florida, migrated from on-premise infrastructure to Microsoft Office 365 and Microsoft Azure to reduce costs. However, the IT team knew Office 365’s built-in security was limited and wanted to maintain the stronger protection previously provided by Clearswift SECURE Email Gateway (SEG).

Clearswift integrated its SECURE Email Gateway with Office 365 to add advanced threat protection and data loss prevention, including adaptive redaction, deep content inspection, encryption, DMARC, and DKIM. Clearswift automatically removed active code and redacted sensitive data in email on the fly, helping Volusia cut reactive security events and potentially save hundreds of man hours per year while maintaining reliable, uninterrupted communication.
