Case Study: Guardian Pharmacy Services strengthens pharmacy cybersecurity and scaling with Fortinet

Guardian Pharmacy Services strengthens security with Fortinet and a 95% smaller IT staff

Guardian Pharmacy Services, a distributor of pharmaceuticals for care facilities, faced complex cybersecurity threats targeting both its operational technology and IT networks containing sensitive patient data. To address this challenge, they partnered with vendor Fortinet to implement a hybrid mesh firewall approach.

Fortinet's solution provided unified network protection and rapid threat mitigation across Guardian's on-premises and cloud assets. The results included significantly enhanced security, network segmentation to protect critical systems, a streamlined insurance process, and substantial cost savings. Guardian estimates the Fortinet infrastructure requires a 95% smaller IT staff than a non-Fortinet solution would need, while also providing better business agility for secure scaling.
