Case Study: Pike Enterprises achieves secure, resilient network operations and cellular WAN flexibility with Fortinet

Fortinet Delivers a Comprehensive Suite of Proven Products for Pike Enterprises

Pike Enterprises, a division of 75-year-old Pike Corporation, provides infrastructure and utility services that keep towns and cities connected across the United States. Facing the need to secure thousands of endpoints, support mobile deployments (like construction and command trailers), eliminate single points of failure in branch offices, and stay ahead of evolving threats such as ransomware, the team required a mature, enterprise-grade security platform that could scale with their field operations.

Pike refreshed and expanded its Fortinet deployment—using FortiGate network firewalls, FortiGate Secure SD-WAN, and testing FortiExtender for cellular WAN—to replace two-box approaches with purpose-built appliances and broaden cellular connectivity. The solution delivered secure on-site access for employees, removed additional single points of failure at branches, provided adaptive cellular WAN options for mobile sites, and gave the organization greater confidence in navigating an ever-changing threat landscape.
