Case Study: Stockholm School of Economics achieves secure, high-performance hybrid learning and simplified network management with Fortinet

Leading Business School Reaps the Benefits of Hybrid Learning with New Secure, HighPerformance Campus Network

The Stockholm School of Economics, a top-ranked business school in Stockholm, faced a sudden shift to remote and hybrid learning during the COVID‑19 pandemic. Its existing campus network struggled with video throughput and multicast traffic for lectures, leaving students at risk of disrupted access and the IT team concerned about reliability and cyber threats as digital services became critical.

To address this, SSE rolled out a consolidated Fortinet campus solution—FortiGate firewalls, FortiSwitches, FortiAPs, FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer and FortiClient—enabling converged networking and security with centralized management and zero‑touch deployment. The upgrade ensured educational continuity, accelerated hybrid learning adoption, improved performance and security, and simplified operations to increase IT productivity and future readiness.
