Case Study: JEGO Systems achieves improved OT visibility and safer drinking water delivery with Fortinet

How a California Water and Wastewater District Leveraged Fortinet Solutions to Protect Critical Water Treatment

A Central California water and wastewater treatment district serving about 30,000 residents faced critical OT security and availability issues after a prior systems integrator left the network a “black box,” retaining access credentials and preventing district staff from managing users, third‑party access, or receiving timely security notifications—risks that could affect water safety and operations.

JEGO Systems deployed Fortinet solutions—FortiGate NGFWs, FortiSwitch with FortiLink, FortiToken Mobile and FortiCloud—providing a GUI for nontechnical staff, port‑level device visibility and tagging, MFA, VPN management and real‑time alerts. The district now has full visibility and control over its OT network, faster troubleshooting, reduced risk of unplanned downtime, stronger third‑party access controls and improved safety for residents’ drinking water.
