Case Study: MFA Incorporated strengthens security and connectivity with Fortinet

MFA Incorporated cuts firewall policy changes to 5–10 minutes with Fortinet

MFA Incorporated, a Midwest farming co-op with nearly 200 locations, faced the challenge of securing and efficiently managing a large, distributed network with tight budgets and staffing. To enhance its security posture and network reliability, especially in rural areas, the co-op turned to vendor Fortinet for a consolidated security solution.

Fortinet implemented its Security Fabric, including FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls with FortiGuard services, Secure SD-WAN, and FortiEDR for endpoints. This integrated solution from Fortinet provided reliable connectivity, improved security visibility, and greatly streamlined management. The results included minimal downtime, the ability to update firewall policies across hundreds of devices in minutes instead of days, and estimated staffing savings of one to two full-time employees.
