Case Study: Waukesha-Pearce Industries (WPI) achieves security efficiency and cost savings with Fortinet

Waukesha-Pearce Industries Spreads Security Fabric Over 30 Locations, Gaining Efficiencies and Cost Savings

Waukesha-Pearce Industries (WPI), a Houston-based family-owned company serving the wholesale oil and gas industry, faced rising cybersecurity risk across 30 geographically dispersed locations and remote access for many of its 850 employees. With only a three-person IT team, WPI needed a way to strengthen security and manage the network more efficiently, using Fortinet solutions.

Fortinet implemented its Security Fabric with management tools, next-generation firewall, analytics and reports, central management, and ethernet switching to unify network and security operations. As a result, WPI improved security posture and network access performance while gaining efficiencies and cost savings across its distributed environment.
