SonicWALL Delivers Clean VPN for Community Church
SonicWALL Internet security , a leading secure network infrastructure company, has announced Northwoods Community Church (Northwoods) a member of the Fellowship of Evangelical Churches serving a congregation of 3,900 churchgoers in Peoria, Illinois, has deployed a SonicWALL Clean VPN by combining a SonicWALL SSL-VPN 2000 secure remote access appliance with a SonicWALL® E-Class NSA E5500 network security appliance.
“We have users traveling and working remotely needing access to our servers and data,” said Jason Lee, Northwoods’ IT Director. “Knowing that our network is safe and secure and invulnerable from outside attacks, will enable us to sleep soundly at night. Having a secure and attack-free remote access is crucial to our operations.”
Northwoods’ E5500 firewall scans both inbound and outbound SSL VPN traffic using Gateway Antivirus, Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention services.
As a nonprofit organization, Northwoods is especially sensitive to value.
“We have limited resources, but our expectations are no different than a Fortune 500 company, and that’s to utilize the best technology we can afford to help our team succeed,” said Lee. “We realize that we cannot affort Cisco or Juniper systems, but SonicWall’s Internet security has been very effective in providing us the network security that we require.”
By selecting SonicWALL Internet security‘s E-Class, Lee freed up budget for other initiatives. And using Unified Threat Management instead of separate services and servers from different vendors has lowered his costs, and eased budgeting and planning.
Lee said the Church is also planning to expand SonicWall’s Clean Wireless implementation.
So far, Lee said the campus has installed at least 13 SonicPointes to provide Internet security around the church. “We apply Gateway Antivirus, Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention services, as well as Content Filtering, to all inbound and outbound traffic on our wireless network.”
