“The Koris365 experts were
tremendous, from start to finish –
they listened and made sure they
understood exactly what we wanted
to achieve, they know the technology
and architecture so well they were
able to make suggestions and were
very willing to test and lab things up
before deployment”

& Unified Communications,
Queen Mary University of London
100GB Network Secured, Segmented, Supported.
Queen Mary University of London is recognised as the most inclusive Russell
Group University, offering 240 degree programmes. It is world leading in
areas such as Medicine and Dentistry, English Language and Literature, Law
and Engineering.
The Network and Security team at Queen Mary are responsible for the
day-to-day operation of the Queen Mary network, as well as defining
the future technological strategy. The team act as a service provider
delivering the enterprise network to the University, while also providing
network connectivity to various schools and faculties.
Queen Mary had a legacy Firewall core of Cisco ASA’s. Other
departments had legacy firewalling based on IP Linux and IP tables.
The installed technology had worked well for numerous years, but on
reaching end of life had become difficult to manage and left the team
with constraints around performance and segmentation. A separate
Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) was also in place in the form of
Forcepoint.
