Case Study: Abu Dhabi Aviation achieves enhanced network security and performance with Fortinet

Abu Dhabi Aviation Enhances Network Security and Performance With Fortinet

Abu Dhabi Aviation (ADA) is a leading provider of aviation services—including VVIP transport, search and rescue, pilot training and oil-and-gas support—with an impeccable safety record. During the COVID-19 period ADA found its network infrastructure had not kept pace with growing operational demands or the evolving cyber threat landscape, and needed a standards-based, easy-to-manage solution that would protect safety-critical systems, meet strict compliance and procurement requirements, and preserve application performance despite limited IT security staff.

ADA selected Fortinet’s integrated Security Fabric—FortiGate NGFWs with FortiSwitch, FortiAP, FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer—to consolidate policy, management and monitoring. The deployment delivered AI/ML-powered IPS, URL filtering, QoS and hardware-accelerated security that preserved throughput for encrypted traffic, while centralized management and analytics sped detection and remediation, reduced administrative overhead, improved compliance and resilience, and increased performance of critical applications.
