Case Study: Metro Tech achieves 88% less staff effort and lower TCO with Fortinet security solutions

Metro Tech manages nearly 3x as many devices with 88% less staff effort using Fortinet

Metro Tech, a multi-campus technology education center, faced the challenge of securing sensitive data for nearly 40,000 users while ensuring its network remained highly available for students. Their previous multi-vendor environment hampered productivity and visibility for the IT team. To address this, they turned to Fortinet for a consolidated security solution.

By implementing Fortinet's integrated Security Fabric, including FortiGate firewalls, FortiSwitch switches, and FortiAP access points, Metro Tech achieved significant results. The Fortinet solution led to an 88% reduction in staff effort required to manage nearly three times as many devices, while also lowering costs by a third. The organization has thwarted millions of daily DDoS attacks and has experienced no successful cyberattacks in over five years.
