Fortinet Case Study on Pennsylvania Legislative Data Processing Center

This case study details the implementation of Fortinet's cybersecurity solutions at the Pennsylvania Legislative Data Processing Center (LDPC). The LDPC, which supports the legislative business of Pennsylvania, faced significant network challenges with its previous vendor, leading to frequent downtime and performance issues. The study outlines how the LDPC transitioned to Fortinet's Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) and other products to enhance network reliability, performance, and security. Key improvements included a reduction in troubleshooting time, enhanced visibility of security events, and improved user experience with applications like Microsoft Teams. The LDPC's network architecture was redesigned to include high-availability configurations and secure SD-WAN, which provided better traffic management and DDoS protection. The case study emphasizes the importance of user-friendly interfaces and responsive customer service in selecting Fortinet as their new provider. Overall, the transition resulted in a more efficient and secure network for the Pennsylvania legislature.
