CASE STUDY
Firewall & Network Monitoring Upgrade
Firewall Upgrade Provides Increased Protection & Visibility Through Greater Monitoring & Reporting
CLIENT PROFILE
Toowoomba Grammar School was established under the Grammar Schools Act of 1860 to provide a quality education designed for boys. TGS is a non-denominational, independent day and boarding school for boys from Prep to Year 12.
TGS has built its reputation upon high quality teaching, excellent academic results, outstanding pastoral care and a holistic approach to the education and formation of young men.
REQUIREMENTS
- To provide a solution for Internet safe use with Identity Based Visibility
- To provide a solution with access and user controls on a highly available Tier1 Firewall
- To enable more comprehensive and measurable network data
THE CHALLENGE
There was no visibility into threat and response data, and limited user-based reporting. As a result, it was unknown if the security devices were effective, and to what extent, or the extent to which it protected the variety of TGS network users - staff, students, and guests.
BENEFITS
Highly visible, reportable network monitoring
Automated, right time access based on roles
Active control via content filtering
OUTCOME
Aryon presented a turn key migration that integrated multi layered systems to provide Identity Based Controls, Just-in-Time access, and Extended Reporting based on the Palo Alto firewall platform.
The solution considered the varying user types (students, educators, guests etc.) to ensure that access, monitoring and reporting were all optimised.
“Aryon has enabled TGS to tighten the network suitability for its boarders. As the school provides Internet to boarding students, previously, the school had ‘unrestricted Internet access’ with limited visibility.
Since the new system went live, we have gone from only seeing 100,000 unqualified events to 700,000 events every 30 days with full visibility.”
