Case Study: Alcampo achieves 30% reduction in network ops time and costs and streamlined, secure operations with Fortinet Secure SD-Branch

Leading Spanish Retailer Secures and Streamlines Business Operations with Fortinet Secure SD-Branch

Alcampo, one of Spain’s leading retailers with 525 stores, faced growing systems and network complexity as digitization and a proliferation of wired and wireless IoT devices outpaced its fragmented networking and security infrastructure. Limited integration and visibility made segmentation and troubleshooting difficult, driving up operating expenses and administrative burden while leaving some legacy, unpatchable devices exposed.

Alcampo deployed Fortinet Secure SD-Branch—FortiGate NGFW with SD-WAN, FortiSwitch, FortiAP, FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer, FortiClient and FortiAuthenticator—enabling centralized management, end-to-end visibility and virtual patching for vulnerable IoT devices. The solution cut daily network/security operations time and network operating expenses by about 30%, improved troubleshooting and proactive issue detection, and provided a secure, scalable foundation for future growth.
