Department of Energy, Republic of the Philippines - Customer Case Study

The Department of Energy, Republic of the Philippines needed to enforce a uniform, advanced security platform across distributed sites and three ISPs. To address this, the agency deployed SonicWall NSa firewalls at its main office (in HA configuration for primary firewall duties) and TZ models in branch offices, leveraging features such as Capture ATP multi-engine sandboxing, integrated 802.11ac Wi‑Fi and integrated VPN.

SonicWall’s NSa solution delivered measurable results: the agency reported improved business-process efficiency, reduced IT infrastructure costs, better overall system uptime and enhanced protection of critical data, while the number of blocked attacks increased by 51–75%. Department staff say the SonicWall NSa firewalls meet or exceed performance and security expectations, providing high availability and assurance.
