Case Study: Howard Hanna Real Estate Services achieves efficient security management with Fortinet

Howard Hanna Real Estate Services reduces location onboarding time by 96% with Fortinet

Howard Hanna Real Estate Services, the largest family-owned real estate broker in the U.S., faced challenges managing and securing 3,000 endpoints across 250 locations. Their aging and fragmented IT infrastructure hindered scalability and made it difficult to meet stringent data security compliance mandates.

Fortinet implemented a standardized security infrastructure using its Security Fabric, which included FortiGate NGFWs with FortiGuard services, FortiSwitch, and FortiAP. This solution resulted in zero successful cyberattacks and a 96% reduction in the time needed to onboard new locations. Threat response was pushed out companywide in minutes rather than days, and day-to-day policy updates are now completed in minutes. This allowed Howard Hanna to maintain a lean IT operation with just two dedicated network engineers managing the entire network.
