Case Study: Laguna Woods Village recovers from ransomware and strengthens security with Fortinet

Laguna Woods Village locks down ransomware access within 24 hours with Fortinet

Laguna Woods Village, a large planned retirement community managed by Village Management Services (VMS), faced a major ransomware breach that disrupted its operations. Their existing security deployment with vendor Fortinet was progressing slowly prior to the incident.

Fortinet, through its FortiGuard Incident Response Services, identified and isolated the threat actor within 24 hours using FortiGate firewalls and FortiEDR. This event accelerated the full deployment of the Fortinet Security Fabric, which included switches, access points, and advanced threat protection tools. The results included rapid recovery from the attack, 24x7 monitoring that has thwarted subsequent attempts, simplified security management, and an improved total cost of ownership for the customer.
