Case Study: GRIID Infrastructure boosts uptime and security with Fortinet networking and security

GRIID Infrastructure secures 5,000 mining devices with Fortinet

GRIID Infrastructure, a purpose-built bitcoin-mining company, faced the challenge of securing and managing its 5,000 mining devices spread across multiple locations. Key issues included protecting the operation from malware and denial-of-service attacks, ensuring power management integrity, and diagnosing operational problems. To address this, the company turned to Fortinet for a consolidated networking and security solution.

Fortinet implemented its Security Fabric, deploying high-availability FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls and FortiSwitch secure Ethernet switches at each site, all connected via Fortinet Secure SD-WAN. The solution also included FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services for intrusion prevention, antivirus, and web filtering. As a result, GRIID established a highly resilient network that minimized downtime, streamlined management, and safeguarded its bitcoin-mining operations, with the cost versus performance value described as having "hit it out of the park."
