South Australia’s Department for Education connects schools securely with Palo Alto Networks
6 PagesThe South Australia Department for Education transformed its connectivity and cybersecurity infrastructure by partnering with Palo Alto Networks and Telstra Purple. From only 7% of schools with high-speed internet in 2017, the department expanded secure connectivity to 99.6% of public schools and preschools. The deployment included NGFWs, Cortex XDR, and Saasyan Assure tools, enabling robust protection against cyberthreats, centralized visibility, and proactive online safety measures for students. The initiative extended safeguards to home learning environments during the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring secure access beyond school premises.
