The Challenges Engineering Firms Face Without Advanced Security Solutions
- Increased Risk of Data Breaches & IP Theft
Standard firewalls and security measures often cannot detect or prevent advanced threats like ransomware, zero-day attacks, and insider threats. Fortinet's next-generation firewalls provide deep packet inspection, intrusion prevention, and threat intelligence to secure design files and sensitive client data. - Compliance Violations & Legal Risks
Engineering firms managing confidential client data must comply with NIST, CMMC, SOC 2, and GLBA standards. Without Fortinet's compliance-driven security features, firms risk failing audits, facing fines, and losing client trust. - Slow Network Performance & Large File Transfers
Engineering firms often transfer large CAD files and datasets across multiple locations. Fortinet's SD-WAN solutions optimize bandwidth usage and traffic management, ensuring fast and reliable connections for data transfers.
- Complex Security Management Across Multiple Sites
Managing firewalls, VPNs, and security policies for multiple office locations can be complex and time-consuming. Fortinet's centralized management tools simplify policy enforcement, updates, and compliance reporting for engineering firms. - High IT Costs & Downtime Due to Security Incidents
Security breaches and downtime lead to emergency IT costs, data recovery expenses, and regulatory fines. Fortinet's proactive threat detection and automated incident response help engineering firms avoid costly security incidents.
