Case Study: CB&S Bank simplifies network security and speeds M&A readiness with Fortinet

CB&S Bank cuts network setup to 30 minutes with Fortinet

CB&S Bank, a community bank serving the Southeast U.S., prioritized cybersecurity and network stability but faced complexity from managing multiple vendors. To support its growth and merger strategy, the bank needed to simplify its infrastructure and enhance security controls, turning to Fortinet for a solution.

Fortinet implemented its Security Fabric, consolidating the bank's switches, access points, and firewalls. This provided centralized management, network segmentation, and AI-Powered FortiGuard Security Services. The results were significant: configuration changes now take minutes, firmware updates are 90% faster, and new branch networks can be set up in 30 minutes, directly enabling the bank's M&A activity.
