Next-Generation Firewall and Content Filtering for K-12: An Analysis of Vendors

Brandon Conley
IT security professionals at K-12 schools face a growing list of educational and administrative demands on their network. Legacy firewall and web filtering products have failed to keep pace with requirements stemming from new learning initiatives as such as the 21st century classroom and anytime/anywhere learning.

This webcast discusses how Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) address the network security, bandwidth management, and content filtering challenges currently facing today's K-12 organizations. NGFWs deliver a comprehensive and highly granular solution for network security, bandwidth optimization, application visibility, and content control that reduces the cost and complexity of running educational networks. This webcast provides a hard-hitting competitive analysis of leading NGFWs and Content Filtering solutions from the following vendors: Cisco, Fortinet, Juniper, Lightspeed, SonicWALL and Websense.
