Case Study: South Lanarkshire College achieves Cyber Essentials certification and faster IT operations with WithSecure Business Suite

The college’s patching process sped up by 83% with WithSecure™ Business Suite

South Lanarkshire College, an educational institution, required a high-level endpoint security solution to protect its IT infrastructure from frequent attacks and to meet Cyber Essentials certification requirements. Their challenges included inefficient patch management that consumed significant resources and the need for rapid ransomware detection. They selected WithSecure and its Business Suite product to address these needs.

The solution from WithSecure automated software deployment and patching, which drastically reduced the time required for these tasks from 30 days to just 5. It provided efficient off-load scanning and faster ransomware response times, enabling the college to achieve its certification. WithSecure's implementation allowed the IT team to manage everything from a central location, making the business more effective and secure.
