Case Study: Alperia achieves stronger OT/IT security and simplified network management with Fortinet

Alperia improves OT security and cuts operating expenses with Fortinet

Alperia, a green energy provider based in Italy, faced the challenge of bringing its operational technology (OT) network in-house without increasing its cybersecurity risk. The company needed a solution from Fortinet that would secure its network while also centralizing management and enabling IT/OT convergence and cloud adoption.

Fortinet implemented a solution using FortiGate Rugged NGFWs for segmentation, managed centrally with FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer. This hybrid mesh firewall approach provided by Fortinet enhanced security through secure OT zoning, increased overall visibility, and simplified administration. The result was a reduction in operating expenses while simultaneously improving the network's security, reliability, and efficiency.
