Case Study: a large U.S. poultry producer improves security and IT efficiency with Fortinet

a large U.S. poultry producer cuts IT workload by 60 hours a month with Fortinet

The customer, a large U.S. poultry producer, faced the challenge of securing its corporate network across 15 facilities. A cyberattack on its integrated IT and OT systems could cause significant safety and reputational damage. To address this, the company turned to vendor Fortinet for a superior security solution.

Fortinet implemented its Security Fabric solution, which included FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls to fully separate OT and IT networks, integrated with FortiAP access points and FortiSwitch switches in a Secure SD-WAN. This provided the poultry producer with significantly improved security and better network visibility. The solution also delivered a measurable impact, reducing the central IT team's workload by about 60 hours per month and saving 20-30 hours per month on management time.
