Case Study: Village of Pleasant Prairie achieves unified security and proactive protection with Fortinet Security Fabric

Village of Pleasant Prairie secures 20,000 residents with Fortinet Security Fabric

The Village of Pleasant Prairie, a government entity serving 20,000 residents, faced security challenges due to a complex mixed-vendor environment and a limited IT staff managing many distributed sites. Fast-moving threats and seasonal users added significant risk. To address this, they turned to Fortinet for a consolidated security solution.

By standardizing on the Fortinet Security Fabric, the village deployed products including FortiGate NGFW, FortiEDR, and FortiAnalyzer. This provided unified, granular security and real-time endpoint protection. The results for the Village of Pleasant Prairie, achieved with Fortinet, were a shift from reactive to proactive, policy-driven security, automated protection that reduced both risk and workload, and streamlined network and voice operations for faster response times.
