Case Study: City of Mission improves security and reduces costs with Fortinet

Mission Accomplished: Fortinet Dramatically Improves Security for British Columbia City

The City of Mission in British Columbia, Canada, was dealing with a growing network and a small IT staff, making security operations difficult to manage. Its use of multiple point products created complexity, so it turned to Fortinet for a more unified approach, including next-generation firewall capabilities, networking, VPN connectivity, and central management.

Fortinet implemented its Security Fabric and FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls to consolidate security and provide secure SD-WAN between 17 city locations. As a result, the City of Mission dramatically improved its security posture, reduced the risk of attacks, and cut total cost of ownership by 15% so far, while requiring minimal staff time to manage.
