Case Study: Grand View University improves 24/7 network monitoring with Fortinet FortiGuard Security Services

Grand View University improves 24×7 network monitoring with Fortinet

Grand View University, a private liberal arts university in Iowa, faced the challenge of needing a more proactive approach to network monitoring to protect its student data and resources. Following a cyber audit, the university sought a solution to improve its security posture without overburdening its small IT team. They turned to vendor Fortinet for its FortiGuard Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Service and SOC-as-a-Service offering.

By implementing Fortinet's managed services, Grand View gained deep visibility and 24/7 automated alerting, eliminating the need to manually dig through log files. This solution provided extensive reporting capabilities without requiring a costly investment in an in-house SIEM system. The results included improved network monitoring and management of their security posture, with Fortinet's services successfully identifying critical threats that would have previously gone unnoticed.
