Case Study: Harley‑Davidson Dealer Systems achieves comprehensive, scalable, plug‑and‑play dealer security with Fortinet

Harley-Davidson Dealer Systems - Customer Case Study

Harley‑Davidson Dealer Systems (HDDS) supports nearly 800 independent U.S. dealerships with tools for sales, service and back‑office operations, but those locations vary widely in size and most lack trained IT staff. That diversity — from small kiosks to large showrooms — combined with an evolving threat landscape and rising ransomware concerns created a need for simple, reliable, centrally managed security.

HDDS standardized on Fortinet’s Security Fabric — preconfigured, plug‑and‑play FortiGate appliances plus FortiAP, FortiSwitch, FortiSandbox, FortiAnalyzer and FortiManager — and offers tiered, dealer‑selectable packages. The result is scalable, remote‑managed security‑as‑a‑service that delivers PCI compliance, broad attack‑surface protection, faster centralized support and reduced IT burden for dealers, giving owners peace of mind to focus on their businesses.
