Case Study: Echoenergia achieves 99.98% communications availability and secure, reliable operations with Fortinet Security Fabric

Echoenergia Transforms the Renewable Energy Market in Brazil with Fortinet Security Fabric’s Reliability and Security

Echoenergia is a Brazilian renewable energy company founded in 2017 that now operates eight wind farms generating over 700 MW and a high-tech operations center in São Paulo. Rapid expansion and a geographically dispersed infrastructure created strict requirements for high availability, redundancy and strong cybersecurity to meet industry regulation (99.98% communications availability) and defend against growing threats.

To address this, Echoenergia deployed the Fortinet Security Fabric—including FortiGates, FortiSwitches, FortiAPs, FortiAuthenticator and FortiToken—implemented by partner Danresa. The standardized, integrated solution delivered intelligent management, multi-layer redundancy and high-level security, meeting availability targets, enabling fast scaling and boosting the company’s credibility and growth; a cloud/AWS security extension is now underway to fully standardize on Fortinet.
