Case Study: Hydradyne achieves enhanced endpoint detection and saves 15 hours/week with Fortinet

Major Hydraulics Company Selects Fortinet To Secure Its Endpoints and Provide Managed Detection and Response Services

Hydradyne, founded in 1968, is a major U.S. fluid power and motion-control distributor serving over 8,000 OEM and MRO customers from 30+ branches. Protecting its digital business systems was a priority, but a patchwork of traditional antivirus and endpoint tools left the company with poor visibility, no lateral-movement detection, and high cost and management overhead—exposing the business to phishing and other human-factor attack vectors.

Hydradyne consolidated its security with Fortinet—deploying FortiGate NGFWs, FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer, FortiMail, FortiEDR with FortiClient, and FortiMDR services. The integrated solution delivered real-time endpoint visibility and control, stronger web and email protection, and expert MDR support, reducing endpoint management time by about 15 hours per week, improving detection of malicious activity, and limiting lateral attacks.
