Case Study: Pan Pac Forest Products achieves resilient OT operations with Fortinet

Pan Pac Forest Products builds resilient OT operations with Fortinet and full IT/OT segmentation

Pan Pac Forest Products, a leading New Zealand manufacturer, faced increasing cyber and operational risks from modern automation, alongside a legacy infrastructure that lacked segmentation and resilience. With limited in-house OT security resources, they partnered with vendor Fortinet and implementer SGS ECL to modernize and secure their operational technology environment.

The solution involved implementing Fortinet's FortiGate firewalls for IT/OT segmentation, along with FortiSwitch and FortiAP to unify wired and wireless security management. This simplified architecture provided Pan Pac with full segmentation, centralized visibility, and improved network redundancy. The results, achieved with Fortinet, include a secure, resilient OT operation with minimal management overhead and a significantly reduced risk of downtime from both cyber incidents and physical failures, allowing teams to focus on production.
