Case Study: Appleton Area School District drastically reduces security incidents with Fortinet

U.S. School District Locks Down Staff and Student Data with Fortinet

Appleton Area School District needed to better protect student and staff data as email remained the main attack vector for bad actors. The district was looking for stronger security across more than 16,000 student and 2,500 staff email accounts, along with better endpoint visibility and unified communications protection.

Fortinet implemented on-premises FortiMail email security, FortiEDR endpoint detection and response, and secure unified communications for Appleton Area School District. As a result, the district reduced email security incidents by approximately 95% and significantly improved its overall security posture and threat visibility.
