Volkswagen Mexico deploys Fortinet's FortiGate multi-threat appliances

Volkswagen Mexico has deployed Fortinet's FortiGate multi-threat appliances for firewall, intrusion prevention, virtual private network, web content filtering, anti-spam and antivirus protection at its Mexico headquarters and 300 dealerships.

According to Fortinet, Volkswagen Mexico has also deployed its FortiMail multi-layered email security platform and FortiManager management and reporting appliance to monitor network activity and attempted attacks.

Fortinet's FortiGate systems are ASIC-accelerated security appliances that integrate security applications such as antivirus, firewall, VPN, intrusion prevention, web filtering, anti-spam and traffic shaping.

All FortiGate systems are kept up to date automatically by Fortinet's FortiGuard Network, which helps ensure protection against the content-based threats from email and web traffic such as viruses, worms, intrusions, other unwanted network traffic and more, the company said.

Glenn Espinoza, information systems manager for Volkswagen Mexico, said: "Using Fortinet appliances, we have been able to apply high technology to solve to a business problem, protecting our assets while controlling costs. In doing so, we have now achieved a good return on investment for each network connection and improved the productivity of our employees. No longer does our IT staff have to worry about viruses proliferating and taking down the entire network."
