Case Study: St. Andrews Lutheran College achieves simpler, more secure campus networking with Fortinet Secure LAN

St. Andrews Lutheran College modernizes campus network for 2,500 daily connections with Fortinet

St. Andrews Lutheran College, a K-12 school in Australia, faced significant challenges with a fragmented multi-vendor network that offered limited visibility and increased security risks, particularly in its BYOD environment. Managed by a two-person IT team, the school needed a modernized solution to reduce complexity and operational uncertainty. They turned to Fortinet to address these issues.

Fortinet implemented its Secure LAN solution, integrating FortiGate firewall, FortiSwitch, and FortiAP wireless access points, which provided centralized visibility and control. This unified approach from Fortinet enabled automated network segmentation and policy enforcement, simplifying management for the small IT staff. The results included a reduced total cost of ownership, faster troubleshooting with fewer classroom disruptions, and a more reliable, resilient network across the campus.
