As your clients’ trusted security advisor, you must balance the dual challenge of ensuring they have robust, adaptive security solutions and efficient performance in their expanded, hybrid environments—all while managing their budgets and your bottom line. Fortunately, Fortinet has you covered.
To quantify the ROI of FortiGate NGFWs and FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services, Fortinet commissioned a “Forrester Total Economic Impact™ Study.” The results of this study were combined to form a single organization, which has a $2.5 billion annual revenue, more than 15,000 employees and three or more data centers.
The study found that the composite organization realized improved performance, increased productivity and cost savings, as well as the following benefits:
- Significant ROI: Deploying FortiGate data center NGFWs with FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services resulted in a 318 percent return on investment over three years, payback in less than six months and more than $8 million in net benefits.
