Galucho

With a need to modernize its IT infrastructure and securely integrate its operational technology (OT) environment with its IT network, equipment manufacturer Galucho needed a secure, resilient solution that could scale and adapt to its changing requirements. The company also required secure access to data and applications across its large manufacturing facility. All of these challenges needed to be addressed without introducing more complexity and operational costs.

After a competitive review, Galucho selected Fortinet. With FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) and FortiManager for centralized management, Galucho gains visibility into OT network assets and can monitor OT traffic flows and create new policies. On a separate zone for its enterprise (IT) side of the network, the company integrated FortiSwitch Ethernet switches and FortiAP access points into the security architecture. FortiClient endpoint protection and FortiMail help enhance ability to monitor compliance with data privacy regulations. Not only is security more effective with the integration of the solutions, but managing it all under the same interface as a logical extension of the Fortinet Security Fabric reduces time and resources spent managing it.
