Case Study: a large school district achieves scalable, safer school network security with LevelBlue, Zscaler, Fortinet, and Juniper Networks

Enhanced Security and Scalability for Public Schools with AT&T Cybersecurity and Zscaler

A large school district in southern California was challenged by its outdated and unscalable Lightspeed Systems K-12 security solution. The district needed a modern, lightweight alternative that could provide robust content filtering, zero trust, and sandboxing capabilities to ensure student safety. They turned to LevelBlue to find a comprehensive and cost-effective replacement.

The solution deployed by LevelBlue included Zscaler Transformation Edition, which they managed, alongside Fortinet FortiGate and Juniper Networks firewalls. This new architecture significantly enhanced security and improved scalability by transitioning to a cloud-based model, allowing the district to adapt to its growing needs. LevelBlue also simplified vendor management and helped ensure eRate eligibility with bundled internet services, delivering both a safer online environment and valuable cost savings.
