Cahokia Unit School District #187 simplifies network management across 9 campuses with Fortinet

Cahokia Unit School District #187, supporting thousands of students and staff across multiple campuses, faced challenges with a legacy network that was difficult to manage and had security gaps, which were highlighted by a disruptive malware incident. Their small IT team needed a simpler, more secure solution, leading them to partner with Fortinet.

Fortinet implemented its Security Fabric, deploying FortiGate, FortiSwitch, and FortiAP products alongside FortiGuard AI-Powered security services to create a unified network. This provided the district with centralized management and visibility, dramatically reducing troubleshooting time. The solution modernized the Wi-Fi infrastructure, improved the overall security posture, and established a scalable foundation for future growth, exactly as the district required.
