Case Study: Canterbury Christ Church University strengthens network security with Palo Alto Networks

Canterbury Christ Church University protects 26,000 students with Palo Alto Networks

Canterbury Christ Church University, a British higher education institution, faced the challenge of securing its network across three campuses for 26,000 students and 1,800 staff. They needed to improve visibility and control of traffic, ensure secure access to data, and prevent malware without increasing security headcount. To address this, they partnered with Palo Alto Networks for its next-generation firewall platform.

The solution from Palo Alto Networks included ML-Powered Next-Generation Firewalls, VM-Series firewalls, and cloud-delivered security services like DNS Security and WildFire. This provided the university with complete visibility and control to stop known and zero-day attacks. The results included increased operational efficiency, saving weeks of administrative time, and a highly resilient security framework that reduced risk and ensured compliance.
