IT Solutions Provider Chooses FortiDeceptor to Detect and Block In-Network Attacks
Download Case StudyOverview
Headquartered in the northeastern region of the United States, is an IT solutions provider that is both a technology reseller and hosting services provider. In the latter capacity, the company must protect its customers’ applications and data while ensuring uncompromised performance. So, when its network security incidents reached tens of thousands per day, the company went on the offensive, deploying FortiDeceptor deception-based breach protection to lure and neutralize attackers even before they entered the network.
This proactive approach helped reduce the company’s security events to a mere handful, garnering the attention of both the company’s executives and its customers. FortiDeceptor is just the latest component of the Fortinet Security Fabric that the company has employed to the benefit of its customer’s networks and its own enterprise.
“Given our extensive deployment of the Fortinet Security Fabric, FortiDeceptor was the obvious choice for this project. In our experience, the further you extend on the Security Fabric, the greater the overall benefit. So, when we decided to go down the deception route, no other company was in the running.”
