Case Study: Finis Terrae University strengthens campus security and network performance with WatchGuard

Finis Terrae University saves 4,000 support man-hours a year with WatchGuard

Finis Terrae University, a Catholic higher education institution with four campuses, faced a significant challenge in securing its network against intrusions from students after its previous Cisco access points were compromised. The university needed a robust security solution that was also cost-effective. They turned to WatchGuard for a new security and wireless solution.

WatchGuard implemented its Firebox M400 and M5600 appliances along with AP320 access points, managed through the Dimension platform. This solution provided advanced threat detection with APT Blocker and full network visibility. The results were highly successful, saving an estimated 4,000 support man-hours per year by preventing intrusions and easily handling high traffic demands across the university's distributed environment.
