Case Study: Northeast Health Wangaratta achieves simplified administration, reduced risk and always-on web security with Zscaler

Northeast Health Wangaratta - Customer Case Study

Northeast Health Wangaratta is a regional healthcare provider in Victoria, Australia with more than 1,000 staff across several campuses. With only six IT staff and a limited budget, the organization had centralized web traffic through a Windows‑based proxy that required frequent reboots, creating a single point of failure, complex rule sets and unreliable access to web applications.

By redirecting Internet‑bound traffic to Zscaler’s cloud proxy via Active Directory Group Policy, NHW replaced three separate point products with a single managed platform for URL filtering, anti‑virus and advanced web protection. The change simplified administration, improved service availability and mobile user protection, reduced operational risk and costs, and enabled the hospital to expand web security features (DLP, Web 2.0 controls, bandwidth/advanced threat modules) without additional hardware or staff.
