Case Study: Siemens Switzerland achieves secure, centrally managed building technology networks with Fortinet

Siemens Switzerland secures 2,200-employee operations with Fortinet

Siemens Switzerland, a regional company of the Siemens technology group, sought to standardize IT components and increase security for its building automation and Industrial IoT projects. Their challenge was to find a solution that offered robust network segmentation and was simple to set up and manage, all at a competitive cost. They turned to vendor Fortinet for a solution.

Fortinet implemented FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls and FortiSwitch devices to protect Siemens Switzerland's technical IP networks. This solution provided fundamental security at a reduced cost, enabled robust segmentation, and was simple to centrally manage. As a result, Siemens Switzerland achieved greater security for both its customer projects and its own operations with minimal effort.
