Overview

The Garden of Hope Foundation has established over 50 service centers across 15 counties and cities in Taiwan. The foundation decided to upgrade its network communication infrastructure to enhance the security and reliability of remote connections and ensure the protection of sensitive information. This upgrade not only improved the speed of office network connections but also provided enhanced cybersecurity measures, effectively safeguarding the foundation's operations. Through Zyxel Networks' technical support, the foundation can now more efficiently manage its service sites across Taiwan, improving both work efficiency and data protection.

Challenges

To enhance operational efficiency and network connectivity across its widespread service locations, the Garden of Hope Foundation faced a pressing need to upgrade its outdated network infrastructure, which could no longer support the growing demands of modern office environments. The aging system could result in unstable connections, slow data transfers, and limited scalability, hindering daily operations and collaboration across sites. Besides, the foundation was confronted with the escalating complexity of cyberthreats, making it imperative to strengthen cybersecurity measures. Ensuring the protection of sensitive data became a top priority, as any breach could affect the integrity of its services and the safety of the individuals it supports.

Solutions

Faced with the challenges of an aging network system and increasingly complex cyberthreats, the Garden of Hope Foundation recognized the urgent need for a comprehensive upgrade. To address these network challenges, the foundation adopted Zyxel Networks' USG FLEX series and VPN firewall, which provide high-performance Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and Unified Threat Management (UTM) capabilities. These advanced solutions enhance network security across more than 50 of its service sites throughout Taiwan. The firewalls ensure data protection while delivering smooth, reliable connections, enabling the staff to collaborate seamlessly across locations without compromising performance. Advanced encryption technologies and support for a wide range of VPN protocols enable secure remote connections, making the solution a perfect fit for the foundation's decentralized and growing operations. Moreover, the robust security features help safeguard sensitive data, protecting the personal information of the individuals the foundation serves. As the organization continues to expand, the scalable solutions ensure long-term protection and adaptability. With the centralized management features, the solutions have significantly improved the efficiency, visibility, and stability of network operations, empowering the foundation to manage its widespread service locations with confidence and ease.

Results

Leveraging Zyxel Networks' security solution, the Garden of Hope Foundation successfully built a high-efficiency, secure, and scalable network environment that fully supports the continuous advancement of its social welfare services. The upgraded network infrastructure has significantly improved the foundation's operational efficiency and secure communication across locations.
