Case Study: Grupo Casas Bahia strengthens cloud security and retail connectivity with Fortinet

Grupo Casas Bahia secures 1,000+ stores with Fortinet

Grupo Casas Bahia, one of Brazil's largest retail groups, faced the challenge of supporting unpredictable retail demand spikes while maintaining consistent performance and security across its distributed environments. They needed to modernize their infrastructure and reduce their data center footprint without introducing risk or complexity. To address this, they turned to Fortinet for a solution involving Secure SD-WAN and cloud security.

Fortinet deployed its FortiGate VM in Google Cloud to secure workloads and ensure consistent policy enforcement. They also implemented Fortinet Secure SD-WAN across more than 1,000 locations to optimize connectivity and application performance. This solution from Fortinet resulted in improved application performance, customer experience, and operational resilience across Grupo Casas Bahia's nationwide operations, while also reducing operational and energy costs through infrastructure consolidation.
