Case Study: Nubank achieves enhanced cloud security and faster performance with Fortinet

Leading Latin America FinTech Company Relies on Fortinet Cloud Security Solutions

Nubank, a São Paulo–based fintech founded in 2013 with over 6 million customers and a fully digital infrastructure, faced growing network and security challenges as it scaled to support 1,300 employees. The company needed a cybersecurity architecture that would improve communication with its AWS environment, resolve slowness issues, and provide centralized control and visibility across its expanding locations.

Nubank implemented Fortinet’s Security Fabric—including FortiManager, FortiGate appliances and FortiGate VM—to centralize administration and secure both on‑premises and AWS environments. The deployment improved Wi‑Fi availability and network reliability, cut page-opening latency from 10 to 5 ms, enhanced auditing and user activity visibility, and freed IT teams to focus on higher‑value work while enabling better scalability and reporting.
