Case Study: Goodwill Industries of Middle Tennessee boosts network performance and security with Fortinet

Goodwill Industries of Middle Tennessee cuts SD-Branch costs by 50% with Fortinet

Goodwill Industries of Middle Tennessee, a nonprofit providing job training and career services, faced the challenge of managing networking and security for its 55 locations with a lean IT team. Their legacy systems were cumbersome and fragmented, making it difficult to protect client data and maintain PCI DSS compliance. They turned to Fortinet for a solution involving Secure SD-WAN and integrated security products.

By implementing Fortinet's SD-Branch solution, which included FortiGate firewalls, Secure SD-WAN, and FortiExtender for wireless connectivity, the organization streamlined its management and integrated networking with security. As a result, Fortinet helped Goodwill achieve a 50% reduction in SD-Branch costs, significantly improved network performance and security event response, and increased efficiency for its IT staff.
