Case Study: Hong Yip Service Company Limited achieves improved network security and stability with Fortinet Secure SD-WAN

Fortinet Secure SD-WAN Solution Provides Assurance to Property Management Organization with Improved Network Security and Stability

Hong Yip Service Company Limited is a leading Hong Kong property and facilities manager (about 1,600 properties across Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area) that faced sudden, pandemic-driven shifts to remote and hybrid work. Surging traffic on collaboration tools like Zoom and Teams exposed bottlenecks in its legacy WAN, and the IT team lacked visibility into link and application performance, undermining reliability and security across its hundreds of branch locations.

Hong Yip deployed Fortinet Secure SD-WAN on FortiGate NGFWs with FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer, replacing MPLS with dual broadband links per site and using dynamic failover, load balancing, application awareness and path intelligence. The rollout delivered immediate improvements: more stable videoconferencing and app performance, full visibility and auditability for compliance (supporting ISO 27001), simplified centralized management for large-scale deployment, and 100% availability of the SD-WAN/DMZ infrastructure as the company continues to extend the solution across branches.
