Case Study: Bertazzoni S.p.A. achieves secure, scalable IT and faster threat detection with Fortinet Security Fabric

IT Innovation Supports Design and Engineering Innovation at Bertazzoni S.p.A.

Bertazzoni S.p.A., a sixth-generation Italian maker of luxury kitchen appliances with about 80 employees and nearly €100M in revenue, was hampered by an aging, fragmented IT infrastructure and network design flaws that left valuable intellectual property exposed. With a two-person IT team and plans for international expansion, the company needed to remove single points of failure, replace obsolete technology, and strengthen defenses against internal and external cyber threats.

Working with partner Pc Pratica, Bertazzoni implemented a fully integrated Fortinet Security Fabric—deploying redundant FortiGate firewalls, switches, Wi‑Fi access points and security software (FortiClient, FortiMail, FortiSandbox, FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer, etc.)—in three months. The unified solution provides single‑pane visibility, one‑click remediation and automated updates, drastically reducing maintenance time, speeding detection and eradication of threats, protecting IP, and giving a secure, scalable platform to support international growth while remaining manageable by a small IT team.
