Case Study: Puerto Rico Science, Technology & Research Trust strengthens security and networking with Fortinet

Puerto Rico Science, Technology & Research Trust strengthens security with Fortinet and reduces complexity for a small IT team

The Puerto Rico Science, Technology & Research Trust, a nonprofit driving innovation across Puerto Rico, faced challenges with network performance, visibility, and security due to its rapid growth and fragmented multi-vendor infrastructure. To strengthen its compliance with HIPAA and secure its hybrid workforce, the organization turned to Fortinet for a solution involving its Unified SASE and SOC-as-a-Service offerings.

Fortinet implemented its Security Fabric, including FortiGate NGFWs, Secure SD-WAN, FortiSASE, and ZTNA, to unify networking and security. This provided the Trust with full visibility and centralized control, strengthened its compliance posture, and delivered secure access. The solution lowered costs and improved operational efficiency for its small IT team, with Fortinet's SOC-as-a-Service providing continuous monitoring and peace of mind.
