SIM Rede de Postos expands cloud network security across 204 locations with Fortinet

SIM Rede de Postos, Brazil's largest gas station and convenience store chain, faced a cybersecurity challenge as it expanded its cloud-based network infrastructure on the Google Cloud Platform. The company needed to increase visibility and protection in its new cloud environment. To address this, they turned to vendor Fortinet for a solution.

Fortinet implemented a comprehensive security solution using FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls as virtual machines in GCP, along with Fortinet Secure SD-WAN, FortiAP access points, FortiSwitch switches, FortiNAC, and FortiManager. This provided SIM with centralized control across all 204 locations, reduced complexity, and improved threat protection. The results included a 100% improvement in equipment management, enhanced network performance, and increased reliability that directly supports the company's business objectives.
