Chicago State University lowers TCO by 35% with Fortinet

Chicago State University faced challenges with aging and expensive legacy hardware that hindered reliability and growth. A fragmented array of vendors created complexity and management silos, while a lack of unified visibility increased their vulnerability to cybersecurity breaches.

Fortinet implemented a solution that standardized networking and security under a single integrated platform, using products like FortiGate NGFW, FortiNAC, and FortiSwitch. The results from Fortinet included a 35% lower total cost of ownership, zero downtime, and unified management that enabled faster deployments and a better security posture across campuses.
