Case Study: Oak Grove School District achieves stronger security and communication with Fortinet

Oak Grove School District saves $150K and boosts uptime to 99% with Fortinet

The Oak Grove School District, serving 8,500 students and 1,000 staff across 18 locations, faced the challenge of securing its network with a small IT team. Their legacy firewall offered limited visibility and threat prevention, while an outdated phone system was costly and insufficient for modern needs. Seeking a simple and reliable solution, the district turned to Fortinet.

Fortinet addressed these issues by deploying the FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall and consolidating security into the Fortinet Security Fabric. They also modernized communications with FortiVoice. This solution centralized management, improved protection against ransomware and phishing, and achieved significant results including 65% faster incident response, 99% uptime for internet access, and $150,000 in savings from the phone system upgrade.
