International Mining Company Consolidates its Networking and Security with Fortinet Single-Vendor SASE
Fortinet News, Wednesday, June 19th, 2024
As the mining industry becomes ever more reliant on digital technology, remote operations, and automation, businesses in the sector are at increased risk of cyberattacks. These threats not only raise the risk of financial losses but also pose significant safety and environmental risks. As a result, robust end-to-end cybersecurity measures are vital to stay ahead of evolving threats.
For one international mining company headquartered in the U.S., the time had come to re-evaluate its networking and security infrastructure. The organization was using three separate vendors to supply its next-generation firewall (NGFWs), SD-WAN, and security service edge (SSE) solutions.
However, the company struggled to integrate these solutions into its overall IT and networking infrastructure. This lack of integration hindered its ability to scale systems into its OT environment and increased operational costs.
