Case Study: Catholic Health Services achieves more reliable, secure healthcare connectivity with Fortinet

Catholic Health Services - Customer Case Study

Catholic Health Services, a nonprofit healthcare provider with 38 locations across Broward and Miami-Dade counties in Florida, needed a more secure and reliable network to support 24/7 care delivery. Frequent hurricanes, internet outages, and the risk of cyberattacks on sensitive patient data made resilient connectivity essential, especially with limited IT funding. Fortinet’s Secure SD-WAN and centrally managed Security Fabric were chosen to help address these challenges.

Fortinet implemented a centrally managed network security solution that delivered automatic failover when a circuit went down, reducing downtime that previously could last from 30 minutes to four hours. The result was improved network reliability in a hazard-prone region, more efficient single-pane-of-glass security operations, and stronger protection that fit within Catholic Health Services’ nonprofit budget.
