Case Study: GRIID Infrastructure achieves reliable, redundant, cost-effective bitcoin-mining security and uptime with Fortinet

GRIID Infrastructure Bitcoin Miner Goes All-in on Fortinet Networking and Security

GRIID Infrastructure, a Cincinnati‑headquartered bitcoin‑mining company that runs thousands of miners in modular shipping‑container sites, faced unique cybersecurity and availability challenges: protecting miners from malware and DoS attacks, ensuring constant internet access for hundreds to thousands of devices per location, and gaining centralized visibility and manageability across disparate networks and hardware.

GRIID consolidated onto an all‑Fortinet stack—high‑availability FortiGate NGFWs, Secure SD‑WAN, FortiSwitch, FortiAP, FortiClient, FortiAnalyzer and FortiGuard services—creating redundant, segmented, and centrally managed networks. The deployment delivered seamless failover, automated threat detection and quarantining, streamlined patching and monitoring, and reduced downtime, enabling stronger security hygiene and allowing the small infrastructure team to focus more on strategic priorities.
