Case Study: Trustwave achieves centralized management of 25,000 FortiGates and accelerated PCI-DSS compliance with Fortinet Security Fabric

Global Powerhouse Delivers Managed Security Services Efficiently and Effectively Around the World

Chicago-based Trustwave is a global managed security services provider serving millions of customers across nearly 100 countries and specializing in PCI-DSS compliance and large-scale firewall deployments. The company struggled with the labor-intensive, costly process of change control and management for thousands of distributed FortiGate appliances used by large retail and hospitality customers.

Trustwave deployed Fortinet FortiManager and FortiGate as part of the Fortinet Security Fabric, using features like auto-discovery, group management, global policies and RESTful APIs to integrate with its MSS back end. This centralized control of over 25,000 FortiGates delivered faster configuration changes, better resource utilization, auditable PCI-DSS compliance and lower deployment and operating costs.
