Case Study: Borusan Holding achieves simplified, secure, and 2× faster WAN with Fortinet Secure SD‑WAN

Holding Company Achieves Simplified, Stable, Sustainable Solutions with Fortinet

Borusan Holding, a Turkey‑headquartered industrial group operating across energy, logistics, automotive and manufacturing with about 14,000 employees in 11 countries, was hindered by a complex, low‑visibility WAN that lacked application prioritization and left backup links underused—causing performance, speed and scalability issues as the company grew internationally.

Borusan implemented Fortinet Secure SD‑WAN (with FortiGate, FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer and FortiExtender) to centralize management, enable zero‑touch provisioning and IPsec‑encrypted links, and gain service‑provider independence. The rollout doubled bandwidth and overall performance, reduced application delays and improved app access by 30–40%, while delivering a simpler, more stable and secure network infrastructure.
