Case Study: Trustmark achieves stronger security, reliability, and network performance with Fortinet

Regional Financial Institution Turns to Fortinet to Build Trust in Network Security, Reliability, and Performance

Trustmark, a regional financial services firm with about 3,000 employees and 200+ locations, was struggling with a fragmented, hard-to-manage security architecture made up of many legacy vendors. That sprawl created visibility gaps, operational overhead, growing attack surface, and limited ability to scale securely—risks that became more urgent as remote work and branch connectivity demands increased.

Trustmark consolidated on Fortinet’s Security Fabric—deploying FortiGate NGFWs, FortiClient, FortiNAC, Secure SD‑WAN, FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer, FortiExtender and FortiGuard services—to automate device segmentation, streamline deployments, and enforce on‑site security. The change delivered greater visibility and threat protection, fewer service tickets and staffing needs, lower costs, and significantly improved network performance, reliability and VPN capacity.
