Case Study: Hamilton Southeastern Schools achieves advanced threat protection and reliable remote learning with SonicWall Gen7 NSsp 15700

Hamilton Southeastern Schools a Loyal SonicWall Customer for Almost 20 Years

Hamilton Southeastern Schools, a large public school district in Fishers, IN supporting over 22,000 students and 2,500 staff across 22 sites, needed a reliable, easily managed network to support online curriculum and assessments and to monitor activity for staff and student connectivity. A long-time SonicWall customer, the district upgraded its firewall infrastructure over nearly 20 years and deployed the SonicWall Gen7 NSsp 15700 Next-Generation Firewall with on-prem analytics to meet these demands.

SonicWall implemented the Gen7 NSsp 15700 with centralized analytics to deliver content filtering, advanced threat protection, intrusion prevention and multi-instance firewalling at high throughput. The solution strengthened the district’s security posture, improved real-time visibility and throughput management, and enabled secure at-home and remote classwork across any endpoint—protecting a network that serves more than 22,000 students and 2,500 staff while lowering operational complexity and total cost of ownership.
