Brazilian Multinational Agribusiness Company Increases Network Visibility and Security with the Fortinet Security Fabric
Overview
Based in São Paulo, Brazil, Zilor serves both the energy and the food sectors. Because its growing business was complex and highly diversified, the company wanted an enterprisewide information protection solution that was coherent and easy to manage. Its previous experiences with piecemeal networking and security solutions were less than optimal.
Working with Fortinet technology partner Safetyware, Zilor converged on a Fortinet Security Fabric solution, which consolidated local-area networking (LAN), wide-area networking (WAN), and security capabilities onto a single platform. From their office in São Paulo, the IT staff now control a network spanning three continents. They find it easy to remotely integrate new security devices into the Security Fabric and cost-effective to add more as the business grows.
“With Fortinet, we achieved the visibility, availability, control, and security impacts we were looking for. Today, we have an excellent, fully functional platform implemented.”
– Fernando José da Silva, IT Coordinator, Zilor
Business Impact
Convergence of network and security infrastructure on a single platform
Complete network visibility from a single location
Centralized management serving multiple sites around the world
High network availability with the Fortinet Secure SD-WAN solution
Lower investment when integrating new solutions into the unified platform
