Case Study: Nonghyup Bank (NH Bank) achieves high-performance, centralized network security with Fortinet FortiGate-3950B

NH Bank Selects High Performance Fortigate for Next Generation Firewall and Industry-Leading Application Control

NH Bank (Nonghyup Bank), one of the world’s largest cooperatives with 15 million members, faced a surge of advanced targeted attacks and needed a high-performance, scalable security platform that could enforce per-user policies, perform application control and web filtering, optimize network traffic, and centralize internet routing from nationwide branches to headquarters while meeting stringent PCI and low-latency requirements.

After testing nine vendors, NH Bank deployed Fortinet’s FortiGate-3950B next‑generation firewall; it delivered superior IPS, application control and combined firewall throughput (20 Gbps) for both large and small packets, with FortiGuard-powered web/content filtering across thousands of applications. The deployment standardized the bank’s security, maintained high performance under increased traffic, simplified policy and compliance management, and improved visibility and control across the network.
