Case Study: Australian Catholic School System achieves safer, more visible web access for 70,000 students with Forcepoint Web Security

Australian Catholic School System safeguards 70,000 students with Forcepoint Web Security

An Australian Catholic school system with over 70,000 students across 141 schools faced the challenge of safeguarding its large network from malicious content and inappropriate websites. Without a centralized, real-time system, it was difficult to provide safe and easy internet access for educational purposes. The school system turned to Forcepoint and implemented its Web Security solution for a scalable way to protect students and staff.

By deploying Forcepoint Web Security, the school system gained complete visibility into web activity and centralized protection. The solution provided real-time analysis of websites and applications, which drastically reduced calls to the IT department requesting access to sites. The implementation resulted in a secure learning environment and allowed the IT team to effectively report on performance and threats, all while supporting a massive growth in internet traffic.
