Case Study: City of Coburg protects school network access with Forcepoint NGFW

City of Coburg secures 20 schools and 8,000 students with Forcepoint NGFW

The City of Coburg sought to modernize its network defense infrastructure to provide safe internet access for its 20 schools, 760 teachers, and 8,000 students. Their outdated network strategy was complex to manage and posed implementation challenges. To overcome this, they turned to Forcepoint and its Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) with Secure SD-WAN.

By implementing Forcepoint NGFW, the city gained centralized management, superior connectivity, and advanced threat protection. The solution from Forcepoint allowed Coburg to overcome its previous inefficiencies and securely administer an additional 4,000 student and teacher devices with various access permissions. The city also reported smooth home office connections via the Forcepoint VPN-Client and streamlined administrative work with granular logging capabilities.
