Wunderlich-Malec Engineering keeps production rolling 24×7 with Fortinet

Wunderlich-Malec Engineering, a provider of engineering services to manufacturers, faced the challenge of securing operational technology (OT) networks for itself and its clients against cyberattacks stemming from increased connectivity. To address this, the firm turned to vendor Fortinet and its LAN Edge solutions and Security Fabric.

By integrating Fortinet switches, including ruggedized industrial models, into its client panels and using the Security Fabric on its own network, Wunderlich-Malec achieved a comprehensive and centralized view of IT/OT security. The Fortinet solution provided high availability to keep customer networks fully operational, reduced administrative resources through streamlined management, and enhanced the firm's competitive advantage with highly secure OT networks.
