Case Study: Nagasaki Prefectural Office of Education strengthens ransomware protection with Fortinet FortiEDR

Nagasaki Prefectural Office of Education protects 4,000 PCs from ransomware with Fortinet

The Nagasaki Prefectural Office of Education faced the challenge of securing its expanding digital infrastructure across 79 schools against ransomware threats. This need was driven by new stringent policy requirements from Japan’s Ministry of Education and the necessity to operate within a tight budget. To enhance its security posture, the organization turned to Fortinet and implemented its FortiEDR endpoint detection and response solution.

Fortinet's FortiEDR was installed on over 4,000 endpoints and servers, providing increased visibility, data recovery functions, and an easy-to-understand Japanese-language interface. The solution integrated seamlessly with the customer's existing Fortinet Security Fabric. As a result, Fortinet helped the organization achieve enhanced security without increasing the cost of its existing antivirus software, ensuring a robust defense against modern cyber threats.
