Case Study: California Public Utilities Commission improves security and reduces costs with Fortinet

California Public Utilities Commission reduces security TCO by 40% with Fortinet

The California Public Utilities Commission needed to replace end-of-life firewalls and strengthen its security posture to support remote work and pass stringent state audits. The state agency turned to Fortinet for a consolidated security solution.

Fortinet implemented a Security Fabric solution built around FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls, integrated with FortiNAC and FortiClient. This provided the CPUC with improved visibility and control. Results included a 20-30% increase in perimeter security efficacy, a 95% improvement in switch port security, and a 40% reduction in the total cost of ownership, all while reliably supporting a remote workforce.
