Case Study: Tiradentes Group achieves secure, scalable migration to AWS Cloud with Fortinet solutions

Brazilian University Secures Its Journey to AWS Cloud with Fortinet Solutions

Tiradentes Group’s Universidade Tiradentes (Unit) is a 62‑year‑old educational institution in northeastern Brazil serving over 22,000 students across multiple campuses and distance‑learning centers. Facing expiring on‑premises equipment and the need to maintain stable, secure connectivity during peak periods (enrollment and exams), the university decided to migrate fully to AWS but required a robust security architecture to protect sensitive student and staff data.

With Fortinet and partner TLD, Unit deployed a cloud security stack (FortiGate NGFW/VM, FortiFlex usage licensing, Secure SD‑WAN, FortiWeb, FortiAnalyzer, FortiManager and FortiToken) across two AWS availability zones. The solution delivered 100% secure migration to the cloud, dynamic scaling for peak demand, unified policy and alert management, fewer false positives and alerts, improved access quality for users, and a resilient platform ready for further modernization.
