Case Study: CaixaBank achieves lower network costs and stronger performance with Fortinet Secure SD-WAN

CaixaBank reduces network communications costs by 50% with Fortinet

CaixaBank, a leading Spanish bank, faced significant challenges with its network infrastructure. Its WAN backhaul approach created a bottleneck after moving to the cloud, and its existing MPLS lines were both expensive and slow. The bank also needed to mitigate growing cybersecurity risks as its attack surface expanded. To address these issues, CaixaBank turned to Fortinet for a solution.

Fortinet implemented its Secure SD-WAN solution across approximately 5,000 bank locations, supported by FortiSwitch LAN switches and FortiExtender for wireless WAN connections. This integrated networking and security solution, managed centrally with FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer, enhanced protection and increased application performance and resilience. As a result, Fortinet enabled CaixaBank to expand its service coverage and achieve a 50% reduction in network communications costs.
