Overview

Founded in 1926, Temple College is a comprehensive community college in central Texas. With three main campuses and a growing number of satellite campus locations, Temple College needed to improve the way it protected student, employee, and financial data from external and internal threats.

Seeking to move beyond simple firewall security, Temple College found that it could address its entire security posture with the Fortinet Security Fabric. The college’s solution included Next-Generation Firewalls, Secure LAN Edge and SD-Branch, and phone systems, all visible and governed through central network management and security analytics tools. As an added benefit, through a partnership with the Fortinet Training Institute, Temple College is preparing its students for rewarding roles in the cybersecurity workforce.
