Universidade Tiradentes (Unit) migrates 100% of operations to the cloud with Fortinet

Universidade Tiradentes (Unit), a leading educational institution in Brazil, faced the challenge of securely migrating its sensitive student and staff data from on-premises infrastructure to the AWS cloud. The university needed a solution that would provide high availability during peak academic periods, centralized visibility, and simplified management across its hybrid environments. To address this, they partnered with security vendor Fortinet and adopted a suite of products including FortiGate NGFWs, FortiCNAPP, and FortiManager.

Fortinet implemented a secure, cloud-first architecture using Fortinet NGFWs and Secure SD-WAN to protect workloads and connect campuses. By utilizing FortiFlex licensing, the university could scale security resources on demand. This solution from Fortinet enabled a full migration to the cloud, reducing false positives in threat detection and enhancing access quality and performance for all students and employees.
