Case Study: Pinery Water & Wastewater District strengthens OT security and operational resilience with Fortinet

Pinery Water & Wastewater District strengthens OT security with Fortinet and 3x resilience through redundant failover

Pinery Water & Wastewater District, a small utility providing essential services in Colorado, needed to modernize its OT security to protect its critical water infrastructure. With a limited team, the district faced challenges including a lack of visibility into its industrial control systems and a flat network architecture that increased its exposure to cyber threats. They turned to Fortinet for a solution to improve cybersecurity and operational resilience without adding complexity.

Fortinet deployed a comprehensive security architecture including FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls with the FortiGuard OT Security Service to segment IT and OT environments. The solution also incorporated FortiAnalyzer for centralized monitoring and FortiClient EMS for endpoint management. This provided the district with improved security, enhanced visibility, and virtual patching capabilities, leading to increased operational resilience and more efficient monitoring and management of their critical infrastructure.
