The University of Miyazaki, formerly known as the National University Corporation Miyazaki, is located in Miyazaki, Japan. Highly regarded for its research, the university focuses on many fields of science including life, environmental, food and energy. They believe in “improving our surroundings by placing a high degree of importance on academic research in order to advance the greater good internationally,” and students have a choice of subject matter to specialize in that range from education and engineering to medicine, agriculture, and civil development.

The university worked closely with their local WatchGuard team and their partner, MinamiNihon Network, to choose WatchGuard’s AuthPoint solution. Their decision was based on pricing, features and management capabilities. Makoto Sonoda, IT manager of the University of Miyazaki, states, “We needed to find an MFA solution that fit our budget, including any up-front and additional maintenance costs.”
