Case Study: USI Insurance Services achieves faster, more reliable WAN connectivity with Fortinet Secure SD-WAN

USI Insurance Services cuts WAN outages by 50% with Fortinet

USI Insurance Services, a large insurance broker, faced a significant challenge in managing networking and security across its 182 offices. Their small team struggled with complex legacy firewalls, leading to high maintenance and a need to reduce complexity. To secure their network edges, they turned to Fortinet and its FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls.

Fortinet implemented a solution combining its NGFWs with Secure SD-WAN, managed centrally with FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer. This provided secure, direct-to-internet connectivity and consolidated multiple WAN links. The results for USI were substantial: a 10x increase in application performance, a 50% reduction in outages, and up to 40% lower connectivity costs. Fortinet's solution also streamlined management and saved the company an estimated $1 million annually on WAN hardware and support.
