The new security solution has delivered:
-
Cluster traffic has been removed as a remedial way of handling 80% of staff working remote. The council’s security stack now offers immense visibility and control over all traffic via an ‘always on’ cloud based dashboard
-
Integrating Cisco Umbrella’s cloud-based security with their Meraki firewall has standardised network defence protocols and safeguarded hybrid teams and remote access. This is protecting users regardless of device, location, or software
-
Poor performance in terms of in-office Wi-Fi and poor connectivity for staff/visitors was necessitating a ‘backup reliance’ on ethernet. This has been removed thanks to a wireless network capable of supporting high-density, high-bandwidth environments
We’re so pleased with our Meraki solution. The cloud-based management, configurations and immense visibility and data captured in the Meraki dashboard means we have the perfect solution for measuring KPIs on performance and how we are delivering public services

The Challenge
The Council’s network was unable to meet the needs of today, including user expectations for speed and reliability, ease of network management, network security, and agility for hybrid teams. Attempting to boost network performance and security was requiring additional budget and a huge number of IT staff hours, in addition to tethering staff via ethernet. The council needed a solution ready for today as well as tomorrow.
Faz Sadough, Senior IT Engineer at Horsham District Council said, “with digital transformation being an important part of our strategy, we wanted a future-proofed network solution and data system that everyone could view and administer”. Find out how we secured their network in our full case study.
