Case Study: Newman University achieves unified, easy-to-use cybersecurity with WatchGuard

Newman University blocks 10% of education-sector attacks with WatchGuard

Newman University, a Catholic higher education institution, faced the challenge of upgrading its cybersecurity infrastructure to meet stringent cyber insurance requirements and defend against increasing ransomware threats targeting the education sector. After trying complex solutions from competitors like Sophos and Fortinet, CIO Icer Vaughan sought a more user-friendly and unified security platform, leading them back to vendor WatchGuard Technologies for its firewall appliances and overall protection.

The solution implemented by WatchGuard included a suite of products such as Firebox appliances, AuthPoint multi-factor authentication, and Endpoint Protection deployed on a unified platform. This provided Newman University with a consolidated, cost-effective security ecosystem that eliminated blind spots. The results, as told by the customer, included easy-to-use centralized management, strong protection for users and data, and a single well-coordinated solution that met all their cybersecurity needs in one complete package from WatchGuard.
