Case Study: Cognita strengthens global network security with IDE Group

Top of the class in network security IDE Group security services provide world wide assurance

Cognita, which operates 58 schools across the UK, Europe, South-East Asia and Latin America, needed to improve security across its extensive network and enforce it consistently to protect IT resources. The group also wanted to connect all sites to head office and set up peer networks between each school, so it turned to IDE Group for help.

IDE Group recommended, designed and deployed a unified security solution built on WatchGuard’s Unified Threat Management, along with Mimecast anti-spam and email archiving and Websense web security. The result was a centrally managed security environment that lets Cognita set, manage and report on firewall, anti-virus and intrusion prevention policies across the business, while also providing email and web protection for users around the world.
