Case Study: Pearland ISD enhances student safety and network performance with Fortinet

Pearland ISD protects 23 campuses and boosts network performance with Fortinet

Pearland Independent School District, a Texas-based district with 23 campuses, needed a more powerful firewall to handle increased network bandwidth and better protect its large attack surface, particularly from insider threats. The district turned to Fortinet for a solution.

Fortinet implemented two FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls in a high-availability pair, augmented by FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services. This solution improved network performance, enhanced student online safety, and helped the district meet compliance mandates. According to Pearland ISD, Fortinet freed up IT staff time for value-adding activities and provided a comprehensive defense platform at an affordable price.
