Case Study: a large state transit agency strengthens security and improves response times with Fortinet

a large state transit agency prevents over 500,000 attacks in one quarter with Fortinet

A large state transit agency providing daily bus services needed to modernize its security to protect its network, web applications, and communications from sophisticated, AI-powered cyberattacks. To address this challenge, the agency partnered with Fortinet and utilized its FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls and FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services as foundational components.

Fortinet implemented a comprehensive solution including FortiGate NGFWs, FortiSandbox, and FortiWeb web application firewalls, all managed centrally via FortiManager. This hybrid mesh firewall deployment provided superior visibility and segmentation. As a result, the agency prevented over 500,000 attacks in one quarter, achieved faster response times to security events, and significantly reduced the staff time required to manage its security infrastructure.
