Case Study: Large Healthcare Education Government One Company achieves centralized, zero-trust security across 1,500 locations with Fortinet

How One Company Efficiently Secures over 1,500 Venues by Standardizing on the Fortinet Security Fabric

Large Healthcare Education Government One Company, a facilities management provider serving hospitals, schools, campuses, manufacturing sites, corrections, sports venues, and national parks, needed to secure POS systems, IoT devices, and cloud-connected applications across about 1,500 customer locations. With security and PCI compliance critical, the company needed a centralized way to protect a highly distributed network while operating in varied client environments.

Fortinet helped the company standardize on FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls, FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer, FortiAP, FortiSwitch, and Fortinet Secure SD-WAN. Using Fortinet, the company centralized policy management, improved segmentation and visibility, boosted resilience and bandwidth aggregation, and accelerated deployments; the result was major cost savings, stronger security, and a lean team of only eight engineers supporting firewalls and switches across 1,500 locations.
