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

Metro Technology Centers, a vocational school system, faced the challenge of securing sensitive data for nearly 40,000 users and ensuring network availability for students while freeing up its IT team for more strategic work. To address this, they turned to vendor Fortinet for a cybersecurity solution.

By implementing an integrated suite of Fortinet products including FortiGate firewalls, FortiSwitch switches, and FortiAP access points, Metro Tech consolidated its security operations. The results were significant, including an 88% reduction in staff effort to manage nearly three times as many devices, a one-third lower total cost of ownership, and successfully thwarting millions of daily attacks with no successful breaches over five years.
