Case Study: a large private school achieves passwordless 802.1X access and fewer support tickets with SecureW2

K-12 Puts On A Clinic For Easy 802.1X Deployment

A large private school in Australia faced challenges with its network security, including the burden of frequent password resets and the need for a secure system that integrated with Azure and Intune. The school required a certificate-based solution to protect confidential data, simplify onboarding for a diverse student body, and provide secure guest access. They partnered with SecureW2 to implement a cloud-based, certificate-backed network.

SecureW2’s solution utilized Microsoft Intune and SCEP for automatic certificate deployment to all 1,500 managed devices, eliminating manual IT effort. Their Cloud RADIUS provided secure, passwordless 802.1X authentication and dynamic VLAN assignment for role-based access control. The implementation was completed in just three weeks and resulted in a 60% reduction in support tickets, allowing the IT team to focus on more strategic security initiatives.
