Case Study: OutSystems achieves greater resilience and lower management complexity with Fortinet

OutSystems cuts firewall rules by 85% with Fortinet

OutSystems, a global leader in low-code application development, faced challenges with an inefficient and complex network that hindered its growth. To bolster security and reduce administrative burdens, the company turned to Fortinet for a solution involving next-generation firewalls and secure SD-WAN.

Fortinet implemented a cluster of FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls and utilized integrated SD-WAN to simplify WAN management and optimize traffic. This solution extended to the cloud with FortiGate-VM and incorporated FortiWeb for application security. The results for OutSystems were significant, including an 85% reduction in firewall security rules and an 86% reduction in public IP addresses. Fortinet's solution lowered management time and costs, strengthened security, and increased business continuity through automated resilience.
