Case Study: University College School secures sensitive data and gains advanced threat protection with SonicWall

Premium Security Solutions for one of the UK’s Premier Schools

University College School, a leading independent day school in England, faced rising cyberattacks, a move to cloud services, and the challenge of protecting sensitive data for thousands of students, staff and parents while simplifying management across multiple security providers. The school selected SonicWall for a single, flexible, fast and cost‑effective security partner to protect endpoints, perimeter and cloud services.

SonicWall architects deployed an HA pair of NSa 6650 next‑generation firewalls for perimeter security and VPN, implemented SonicWall Capture Client for endpoint protection on and off site, and added SonicWall Cloud App Security to secure SaaS collaboration tools. As a result, UCS gained full visibility and control of its network, secure cloud app access, protected endpoints with fewer management touchpoints, lower total cost of ownership and minimal downtime—keeping student, staff and parent data safe while enabling secure collaboration and innovation.
