Case Study: McHenry County College achieves comprehensive, affordable network security with SonicWall NSA Series

College Gains Comprehensive and Affordable Network Security

McHenry County College faced growing cyberthreats at its disaster recovery backup site nine miles from the main campus, where students’ downloads of illegal software increased the risk of viruses and malware. Seeking a comprehensive yet affordable security solution, the college turned to SonicWall and chose SonicWall NSA Series firewalls to protect the backup facility.

SonicWall deployed NSA Series firewalls as the cornerstone of the site’s total network security, replacing the previous technology used at the main campus. The result was increased protection against computer viruses and malware and an economical cost of ownership — as CIO Dr. Allen Butler noted, “SonicWall had the malware protection we needed, and it was economical.”
