Finally, they had to provide a more secure authentication capability to critical servers as they hosted the companies most sensitive data and IPRs.

Additionally, access management with two-factor authentication ensures that only authorized people have access to business-critical systems and sensitive data.

“Given the nature of today’s global threat landscape, we needed an advanced threat protection solution to react to threats at machine speed. We chose Fortinet for their scalability and leading technologies that are backed by strong R&D and threat research. We configured all the devices offline and with minimum downtime managed to switch over to the new solution. With these high-performance solutions, we will be able to add our upcoming manufacturing plants into the security fabric,” L K Tripathi, Chief General Manager – IT, Rockman Industries Limited.

“By adopting Fortinet technologies Rockman Industries have automated tedious and time-consuming activities that normally require a high degree of human supervision and intervention. With this deployment they have demonstrated that a strong security posture can only be achieved by tightly integrating security systems into a cohesive, integrated framework that can freely share information, perform logistical and behavioural analysis to identify attack patterns, and then incorporates that intelligence into an automated system that can respond to attacks in a coordinated fashion,” Rajesh Maurya, Regional Vice President, India & SAARC, Fortinet.
