Case Study: Natural History Museum achieves enhanced data visibility and protection with Fortinet FortiInsight

Diverse Security Strategy at the Natural History Museum

The Natural History Museum houses 80 million specimens and supports hundreds of scientists and millions of annual visitors, while digitising vast research collections for global access. That shift created a complex security challenge: protecting enormous, distributed datasets and enabling secure access and sharing beyond traditional perimeter controls, while integrating data protection with the museum’s wider cyber‑physical security needs.

Fortinet’s FortiInsight was deployed to deliver endpoint visibility and user behavior analytics, supplementing network‑based monitoring and adding a proactive layer of data protection. The solution gives the museum clearer insight into who is accessing, using and sharing its digital collections and helps safeguard business‑critical research, customer and employee data.
