Case Study: Hobart and William Smith Colleges achieve secure mobile and BYOD access with SonicWall

Colleges Secure Mobile and Byod Access with Sonicwall

Hobart and William Smith Colleges needed to give 2,200 students and 700 faculty/staff secure mobile and BYOD access to campus cloud resources — including users studying abroad and a wide variety of unmanaged devices. To meet this challenge they turned to SonicWall, deploying SonicWall Secure Mobile Access (SMA) Series along with SonicWall NSA Series firewalls and SonicWall Email Security.

SonicWall’s SMA, NSA and Email Security solutions enabled global, browser-based access from a broad range of device platforms while keeping the network secure; the colleges report blocking thousands of threats every day, preventing illegal peer-to-peer activity, and cutting support calls and total cost of ownership. SonicWall’s Email Security also reduced spam and let users manage their own junk folders, delivering stronger protection with minimal administration.
