Case Study: Optical Networks achieves enterprise-grade Internet security in Peru with Fortinet

Optical Networks - Customer Case Study

Optical Networks is a Peruvian telecommunications provider focused exclusively on the corporate market, with more than 12 years in the market, 2,500+ customers, 18% corporate market share and a 95% retention rate. The company faced a local challenge: cybersecurity was widely perceived as costly and optional, leaving businesses exposed as IT risks grew and adoption lagged across public and private sectors.

To address this, Optical Networks partnered with Fortinet to launch Optical Networks Internet Security in September 2016 — a managed, enterprise-grade Internet security service built on FortiGate and other Fortinet products (FortiMail, FortiAnalyzer, FortiWeb, FortiManager, FortiDDoS, FortiADC, FortiAP). Delivered as an embedded, scalable solution with global reporting and low TCO, the service democratizes advanced protection for both emerging and mature companies, positions Optical Networks as a market standard for secure Internet services, and strengthened its relationship with Fortinet to Gold Partner status.
