Case Study: VFS Global achieves global protection of diplomatic operations and personal data with Fortinet

Fortinet secures diplomatic operations and data across the globe

VFS Global manages visa application processing for diplomatic missions worldwide, operating 385 offices across 48 countries and handling large volumes of sensitive personal identification data. Protecting that data at scale was a major challenge, so VFS needed a security partner with a global presence and a feature-rich, cost-effective platform that could adapt to varied branch requirements.

VFS selected Fortinet in 2006 and deployed FortiGate appliances (including FortiGate-1000 at its Mumbai data center and FortiGate-60/80/100 at remote centers) along with FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer. The Fortinet UTM suite (gateway antivirus, VPN, IPS, anti-spam, DLP and WAN optimization), centralized management and log aggregation delivered consistent, high-performance multi‑threat protection, simplified operations and faster security updates—giving VFS enterprise-class security, greater agility and reduced administrative overhead across its global footprint.
