Case Study: GTF Group strengthens OT and IT security with Fortinet Security Fabric

GTF Group blocks ~2,200 threats per month with Fortinet

GTF Group, a large agribusiness and food producer in Brazil, faced the challenge of securing its highly automated and distributed OT and IT environments across 29 sites. The company needed stronger security, unified visibility, and centralized control to prevent disruptive downtime and maintain compliance without impacting production. To address this, they turned to Fortinet for an integrated cybersecurity solution.

Implementing the Fortinet Security Fabric, GTF Group deployed a cohesive platform including FortiGate firewalls, FortiSwitch, FortiAP, FortiEDR, and FortiSIEM. This solution provided secure SD-WAN, zero-trust access, and centralized management. The results from Fortinet included improved operational resilience, simplified management, and proactive threat mitigation, processing 194 million security events monthly and avoiding potential losses of around $2 million per day of downtime.
