Case Study: Major U.S. Professional Sports Team achieves stadium-edge cybersecurity and cost savings with Fortinet

Managed Solution Positions Sports Team for the Cybersecurity Win

A major U.S. professional sports team that depends on cameras, sensors and analytics for player performance and event operations needed secure, reliable connectivity across its arena for concerts, shows and other third‑party events. With sensitive player and payment data at risk and internal staff lacking the time and specialized expertise to secure wired and Wi‑Fi networks or manage a legacy firewall, the organization engaged a managed security service provider to shore up its defenses.

MSSP Secure Cyber Defense deployed a FortiGate next‑generation firewall in-line with the incumbent device and implemented FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer and FortiSOAR for centralized monitoring, automated investigation and faster response. The managed solution delivered best‑of‑breed edge protection, 24/7 oversight, cost savings by eliminating the need for a full‑time security hire, and freed internal IT to focus on improving event services—providing the team with stronger security and peace of mind.
