This collection of success stories illustrates how companies across various industries have leveraged the latest security and AI/ML technologies to achieve remarkable outcomes in cybersecurity, operational efficiency, and business resilience.
The speed of business is accelerating the data center’s journey toward digital transformation, requiring new hybrid network architectures that combine on-premises data centers with multiple public and private cloud deployments to form a hybrid mesh firewall (HMF) environment. However, to meet the needs of organizations expanding their digital transformation, the underlying enabling technologies must be more reliable and energy-efficient. They must also deliver consistent security across the hybrid architecture to defend against threats.
This unified security platform provides coordinated protection to multiple areas of enterprise IT, including corporate sites, such as branches, campuses, data centers, public and private clouds, and remote workers. This, then, can form the core of a broader security framework.

Enterprises are adopting hybrid IT, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and 5G to improve operational agility. These tools help them build composable and scalable architectures that interconnect distributed branches, campuses, on-premises data centers, and multi-clouds into a unified network. And yet, amid this change, the enterprise on-premises data center remains an essential component of most networks. Its role is vital because it protects applications, data, and workloads that can’t be moved to the cloud but still need to be consumed by employees, customers, and partners.
FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs), as part of a hybrid mesh firewall architecture, protect dynamic campus networks using powerful AI-powered security services that provide deep visibility into all users, devices, and applications.
The rapid adoption of digital transformation pushes business networks to adopt a hybrid strategy. As a result, the network infrastructure is getting more distributed, making it hard to manage and secure. And not surprisingly, among all causes leading to cyber incidents and network downtime, human error and misconfigurations are at the top.
FortiGate NGFWs also provide a wide range of additional advanced security, including the ability to be deployed as part of a hybrid mesh firewall (HMF) architecture, built-in SD-WAN, dynamic network segmentation, and converged networking and security functionality. When deployed as part of a cybersecurity mesh architecture, FortiGate also provides single-pane-of-glass management, making security visibility and policy orchestration less complex and more flexible across all network edges.
