Case Study: City of Aurora saves millions and strengthens network security with Fortinet

City of Aurora saves $5 million-plus with Fortinet

The City of Aurora, the second-largest city in Illinois, faced significant security gaps and a high total cost of ownership from its aging network infrastructure. To advance public safety and economic development, they partnered with vendor Fortinet to modernize their systems.

Fortinet implemented a solution featuring FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls with FortiGuard services, along with FortiSwitch and FortiAP devices, all managed through a single pane. The Fortinet Security Fabric and Secure SD-WAN provided enhanced security, network segmentation, and improved performance. Results included over $5 million in cost savings, a $150,000 reduction in electricity bills, dramatically faster configuration times, and a substantial improvement in threat detection and response.
