Case Study: University of Wolverhampton increases network security and efficiency with Teneo and Palo Alto Networks

University of Wolverhampton increases efficiency and effectiveness with Teneo and Palo Alto Networks

The University of Wolverhampton, working with vendor Teneo, faced major network security and access challenges across its global online environment for 3,500 staff and 25,000 students. Its existing NAC-based approach caused frequent lockouts for legitimate users, was difficult to manage with antivirus updates, and left the university exposed to potential copyright violations from peer-to-peer file sharing.

Teneo helped the university deploy a pair of Palo Alto Networks PA-5020 next-generation firewalls, streamlining firewall management and improving visibility and control. The result was a rapid rollout in under two weeks, zero infections after deployment, the elimination of minimum security requirements for user devices, and significant time savings by reducing access issues and blocking illegal file sharing before it occurred.
