Case Study: Island of Niue achieves secure, reliable nationwide connectivity with Fortinet

Island Nation of Niue Standardizes on Fortinet Networking and Security

Telecom Niue, the government telecom operator for the Pacific island nation of Niue (population <2,000), needed to replace aging, multi-vendor networking and security equipment that connected government services—schools, hospital, airport and public services—across the island. The fragmented environment was expensive and hard to manage, so the team sought a simpler, Niue‑centric solution that would improve performance, reliability and security while fitting their budget and support capabilities.

Telecom Niue standardized on Fortinet—deploying FortiGate, FortiAP, FortiSwitch, FortiNAC, FortiManager, FortiClient EMS and Fortinet professional services—after extensive testing and a controlled rollout. The unified Security Fabric delivered centralized management, better threat prevention (blocking a 2020 malware attack), improved network performance and lower licensing and operational costs, while enabling remote issue resolution and freeing funds for other technology needs.
