概要
Murata Machinery USA offers reliable machine tool technology, automated material handling, and textile machinery. The company’s four divisions rely on a network comprising 1,000 endpoints and 2,000 customer servers. Until recently, disparate cybersecurity systems in each division hampered network and security management.
Murata solved this problem by standardizing on the Fortinet Security Fabric. Additional Fortinet solutions enable secure access, endpoint protection, and user authentication. Fortinet security operations (SecOps) systems provide 24x7 security monitoring. And FortiSASE secure access service edge enhances security across the company’s remote workforce and cloud applications. All these have saved Murata’s IT team considerable time and effort, while dramatically improving its security posture.
“Thanks to the increased visibility that we have with the FortiGuard SOC-as-a-Service, we get a much clearer picture of what happened if there is an incident. So, we can more easily educate the impacted user on how to avoid a similar situation in the future.”- Murata Machinery USA、IT Manager、Bill Konecy
