Case Study: Wellington Catholic District School Board enhances remote user security and operational efficiency with Fortinet FortiSASE

Wellington Catholic District School Board reduces TCO by 30% with Fortinet

The Wellington Catholic District School Board, a Canadian school district, faced the challenge of securing students and staff learning and working remotely. They needed to meet Ontario Ministry of Education recommendations by deploying a SASE solution to provide consistent protection both inside and outside of school while balancing security with user freedom. They turned to vendor Fortinet for a solution.

Fortinet implemented its FortiSASE solution to provide secure, anywhere working and zero-trust network access. This provided the school board with consistent security across all users and locations. The solution drove significant operational efficiencies, resulting in a 30% reduction in overall TCO and saving an estimated 2,000 hours annually in training through faster user onboarding.
