Drive Down Your Costs Through Security Consolidation

With the ever- increasing pressure of budget reductions and the ongoing need to do more with less, IT is looking at the long term costs of owning solutions. Optimizing resources, driving efficiency and lowering total cost of ownership are critical strategies for the survival of any business. Security Consolidation does just this. In fact, research* shows that by consolidating security systems into a Unified Threat Management Solution (UTM), organizations are recognizing greater productivity (11% reduction in unscheduled downtime) and increased threat protection (20% reduction in actual threat-related incidents). To improve employee productivity and enhance customer satisfaction the IT Team at Potomac Hospital wanted to implement wireless network access for the hospital staff as well as the patients and their families. Typical wireless solutions protect the information being transmitted but given the potential user community the real challenge was to protect the hospital's entire network. A wireless-based malware attack or the unmanaged use of bandwidth draining streaming video or P2P applications could easily overshadow any productivity gains the wireless network provided. Join this webinar to hear how Potamac Hospital discovered a true way of reducing the risk and complexity of a WLAN Implementation with the SonicWALL Clean Wireless solution. This solution seamlessly integrates wireless access points with their UTM firewall. With this, they went beyond a mere secure wireless solution by making their wireless network as secure as a wired network through the use of deep packet inspection technology.
