Case Study: The People Concern strengthens nonprofit network security with Fortinet

The People Concern reduces IT support tickets by 30% with Fortinet

The People Concern, a nonprofit serving vulnerable individuals in Los Angeles, needed to enhance its network security to ensure client safety and secure Wi-Fi access. Facing limited legacy firewall capabilities and poor network visibility, the organization turned to Fortinet for a solution involving its Next-Generation Firewall and Security Fabric.

Fortinet implemented a comprehensive solution using its Security Fabric, including FortiGate, FortiSwitch, and FortiAuthenticator, to segment networks and embed access controls. This provided the nonprofit with enterprise-quality security on a tight budget, resulting in a 30% reduction in IT support tickets and the ability to integrate acquired organizations in just 20 minutes. Fortinet's deployment also gave the IT team improved security insights and more proactive network management.
