Case Study: MYCON achieves robust, centralized security and simplified remote management with Fortinet Secure SD-Branch

Construction Firm Consolidates on Fortinet Secure SD-Branch for Unparalleled Security, Control, and Automation

MYCON, a Dallas-based commercial contractor founded in 1987, runs nationwide construction sites where reliable connectivity is mission-critical for accessing plans, change orders, and RFIs. After inheriting a patchwork of carrier hotspots and off-the-shelf firewalls that lacked application control, IPS, and web/DNS filtering, the company needed a simple, centrally managed, and secure solution that could work over broadband and frequent LTE/4G links at “greenfield” sites.

MYCON deployed Fortinet Secure SD-Branch—anchored by FortiGate NGFWs with FortiWiFi, FortiSwitch, FortiAP, FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer, FortiEDR, and FortiClient—using SD-WAN with LTE failover and centralized configuration. The plug-and-play approach lets nontechnical crews install devices while IT manages them remotely, delivering stronger edge security, rapid scalability, better performance-to-cost, reduced travel and IT overhead, external threat-assessment validation, and lower cyber insurance premiums.
