Northwoods Community Church’s Appliances to be Secured by SonicWall

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.

Northwood’s IT Director Jason Lee explained the need for secure network as the church has several staff who frequenty travel and need constant access to data from their servers. “Even though they are trusted connections, we want to be sure we still have a line of protection at our perimeter. 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 admit that our resources are scarce therefore we have to maximize its use to help us succeed in our endevours by using the most advanced, yet cost-effective technology availalable. “SonicWall Internet security has given use sound protection against any forms of attacks. The same technology that would be very costly if we hire Cisco or Juniper.”

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.

According to Lee, the Church has installed 13 SonicPoints to provide Internet security used across the school. “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.”
