Fortinet Perimeter Security
to Protect a Critical Operation

From an Infrastructure with Dispersed Controls to a Centralized and Monitored Security Architecture.

An Institution in the Defense Sector needed to strengthen the Protection of its Technology Infrastructure distributed across multiple locations. Infodataserv Designed and Implemented a Fortinet Perimeter Security Solution to Centralize Controls, Protect Connectivity, and Strengthen the Continuity of its Services.

From Challenge to Results

Experience, Technology, and a Specialized Team for Critical Environments.

01 · CHALLENGE
Fragmented Protection for a Critical Infrastructure
The Organization had Dispersed Security Controls, Wireless Connectivity with Limited Configurations, and limited visibility into Network Activity, creating risks to the Continuity of its Technology Services.
02 · SOLUTION
Fortinet-Based Perimeter Security Architecture
Infodataserv Designed and Implemented a Solution that Integrates UTM Security, Enterprise Wireless Connectivity, Segmentation, Monitoring, and Backup Mechanisms, using Fortinet Technology and Cybersecurity Best Practices.
03 · RESULT
A Centralized, Monitored, and Validated Environment
The Infrastructure was protected through Unified Perimeter Controls, Secure Wireless Networks, Active Monitoring, and Continuity Mechanisms, strengthening the Security and Availability of Technology Services.

Defense Sector Institution

Challenge

A Critical Institution with Distributed Infrastructure and Insufficient Security Controls.

Strengthen Perimeter Security

Strengthen Perimeter Security Protection through preventive controls (threat blocking and filtering), detective controls (Monitoring and Detection of malicious activities), and response controls (Automated Actions and Incident Management).

Ensure Operational Continuity

Implement High Availability, Backup, Recovery, and Monitoring mechanisms to ensure the uninterrupted operation of Technology Services in the event of failures or unforeseen events.

Required Equipment: Fortinet 300C (Firewall/UTM) · FortiAP 210B (Wireless Access Point) · UTM FortiWiFi F60

Implemented Solution

Infodataserv provided Perimeter Security Engineering services based on Fortinet Technology.

1
FortiGate 300C in HA Cluster

Next-Generation Firewall configured for High Availability. Includes Application Control, IPS, Antivirus, Antispam, IPSec/SSL VPN, and Content Filtering.

2
FortiAP 210B — Secure Enterprise WiFi

Access Points with multiple SSIDs and VLANs, Centralized Management, WPA2-Enterprise, and Reliable Coverage for Distributed Locations.

3
FortiWiFi F60 — Integrated UTM/Firewall

Integrated UTM with Firewall, IPS, Antivirus, Application Control, VPN, Web Filtering, and bandwidth management for stable Internet connectivity.

4
Segmentation and Access Control

Network segmentation through VLANs, differentiated access policies, and user control to minimize the attack surface.

5
Centralized Monitoring and Logs

Centralized Records and Logs, Continuous Monitoring, Automatic Security Signature Updates, and integration with High Availability mechanisms.

6
Backup and Recovery

Backup mechanisms, validated restoration, and failure recovery to ensure the Operational Continuity of critical Services.
