FortiSASE Brings Best-of-Breed Cloud-Delivered Security to a Dispersed, Mostly Remote Workforce
Download Case StudyOverview
Liquid Networx is a technology service provider based in San Antonio, Texas, that serves customers throughout the United States. Due to the nature of the business, the vast majority of Liquid Networx staff work from home, customer sites, and even hotels and airports, rather than in corporate offices. The firm uses a wide range of Fortinet networking and security solutions to protect both on-premises and cloud systems. Recently, it saw an opportunity to further strengthen access controls for its remote workforce.
To do so, Liquid Networx began rolling out the FortiSASE secure access service edge (SASE) solution. As users come online with FortiSASE, their internet access reaches a new level of security, including web content filtering, data loss prevention, and intrusion prevention system capabilities. FortiSASE has streamlined administration of network security, and its ease of management has lowered the network’s total cost of ownership.
“What we are doing with FortiSASE today is largely secure internet access. Having Fortinet’s full UTM functionality sitting in front of our remote users has drastically improved their security posture.”
– Andrew Hammond, Director, Strategic Services, Liquid Networx
