Salt Lake County
In Salt Lake County, Utah, a team of seven information systems (IS) professionals is tasked with maintaining security and managing user access for up to 6,500 end users across the county. As its existing security technology neared its end of life, the county found that its legacy vendor could not deliver on its evolving need for high-throughput inspection and scalability.
A competitive bidding process revealed Fortinet as the best choice for the county. Starting with a few FortiGate next-generation firewalls (NGFWs), Salt Lake County has since deployed more than 55 FortiGate appliances. It has also built out its Fortinet Security Fabric with cost-effective end-to-end network security management, endpoint protection, and secure network access solutions.
