Trustmark
Regional Financial Institution Turns to Fortinet to Build Trust in Network Security, Reliability, and Performance
Download Case StudyOverview
Mississippi–based Trustmark provides personal and business banking through more than 180 branches in six Southern states as well as mortgage, insurance, and commercial real estate services. Historically, the company was challenged by poorly integrated cybersecurity solutions that left open a number of gaps. The infrastructure was also costly and resource-intensive to run.
Trustmark has now consolidated on the Fortinet Security Fabric with FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls, FortiClient Fabric Agent, and Fortinet Secure SD-WAN (software-defined wide area networking) across its branches. The Enterprise Service bundle from FortiGuard Labs protects Trustmark’s firewalls with AI-powered security services. The company has also deployed the FortiNAC network access control (NAC) solution to help enable network segmentation. The company centrally manages its devices with FortiManager and uses FortiAnalyzer for reporting and analysis. With Fortinet converged networking and security, Trustmark has been able to increase security and visibility of its network while driving improved performance and reliability for end users and reducing the cost of its security infrastructure.
“We have 290 IT vendors in our vendor management system, and Fortinet is one of two that we see as a true partner. We look forward to working with Fortinet for years to come.”
– David Kennedy, Executive Vice President and CIO, Trustmark
