Taguig, Philippines, June 10, 1982
Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT), a global leader in broad, integrated and automated cybersecurity solutions, today announced that four academic institutions in Canada, including District School Board Niagara, London District Catholic School Board, Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board and Upper Grand District School Board, are significantly improving WAN performance and visibility through the deployment of Fortinet’s FortiGate Secure SD-WAN solution. These four academic institutions join other customers worldwide in reaping the benefits of Fortinet’s Secure SD-WAN solution that combines best-of-breed security and SD-WAN functionalities to alleviate complexity in their infrastructure and significantly reduce costs for reallocation of budget to other mission critical initiatives.
Companies deploying SD-WAN use over 50 percent more bandwidth than those who have not deployed it. Their bandwidth needs are also growing at twice the rate of companies using traditional WANs according to a recent IHS survey report. Academic institutions are not an exception as they increasingly require quicker yet safer internet to meet the needs of their students, staff and faculty while also facing the challenge of a growing number of IoT devices that rely on the network.
Backed by third-party testing, Fortinet’s Secure SD-WAN solution is fulfilling the need for more and faster bandwidth while ensuring advanced security through one centralized console. As one of the only solutions in the industry that combines security with SD-WAN functionality, Fortinet’s Secure SD-WAN solution is fully integrated, mitigating security risks, to ensure integrity of connected resources without compromising performance. As a result, the District School Board Niagara, London District Catholic School Board, Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board and Upper Grand District School Board have all selected Fortinet’s FortiGate Secure SD-WAN offerings to deliver high performing WAN and LAN services, including SD-Branch, while keeping their end users’ data safe.
