Download Case StudyOverview
ZEMA Global Data Corp. (ZEMA) is a Canadian technology company that provides a software solution for data management and business process automation. With 90% of its employees working remotely, ZEMA needed a way to provide staff with secure and highly available access to internal applications and its data centers worldwide. However, its existing secure access service edge (SASE) solution was proving unreliable, and users were complaining of being unable to connect when needed.
A long-standing Fortinet customer, ZEMA turned to Fortinet Cloud Consulting Services to help it replace its legacy SASE solution with FortiSASE, a highly available entry point integrated with Fortinet Secure SD-WAN. As well as improving the user experience, FortiSASE has provided unified threat protection and an easy way for ZEMA to monitor its environment effectively, giving it complete visibility and higher security across its VPN connections.
“We reached out to Fortinet Cloud Consulting Services to get a rundown of FortiSASE as a highly available entry point. We also wanted to enable secure dynamic routing to protect routing protocols and ensure the integrity and confidentiality of routing information.”
– Archile Lauro Mortel, System Network Administrator, ZEMA Global Data Corp.
