Real Problems, Real Solutions, Real Jobs

No two businesses have the same security risk. India’s companies, across industries, are facing increasing risks every day, ranging from ransomware attacks to the leaking of sensitive data. Here’s what we’ve discovered at P J Networks:

• No single tool fits all
• First step is to gain a very good understanding about the problem
• FortiGate firewalls with customized configurations offer robust security

This is what that looks like in real life.

Case Study 1: Protecting the Small Expanding Manufacturing Firm

The Challenge We Faced

This client was scaling extremely fast with multiple new sites in India. But their cybersecurity had been stuck in a previous era — basic firewalls, no comprehensive strategy, and plenty of unmanaged gadgets. They faced:

• Frequent and Unauthenticated Tries to obtain Access to the System
• Weakened firewall rules leading to network slowness and the loss of the majority of traffic.
• Fears of IP theft and commercial spying

They wanted a solution that would provide security for all of their branches, but would also enable them to continue business as usual.

P J Networks FortiGate Solutions

After much review, we deployed FortiGate firewalls at all sites. Here’s what we did:

• Enable centralized administration for the consistent application of policies
• Activated Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) to prevent attacks before they reach their target
• Created secure tunnels over the VPN for secure communications between all sites
• Set up app control to allow critical applications to have priority

The firewall’s robust set of reporting tools allowed the client to track threats as they occurred in near real-time.

The Result: Better Security & Peace of Mind

• Unauthorized attempts behind the scenes decreased over 90%
• Network throughput increased as only allowed traffic flowed through.
• The customer could simply scale out horizontally without worry about data spills or downtime
• IT finally got their arms around it with easy-to-use management dashboards

They said they could finally feel confident about growing their business, secure in the knowledge that they had strong cybersecurity.

Case Study 2: Securing Sensitive Data for a Healthcare Client

Client Summary

As it operates several health systems, one particular healthcare client identified the need to secure and manage its sensitive data being exchanged internally and externally.

The Challenge We Faced

Healthcare data is a hot commodity everywhere, and this Indian hospital is no exception. They had to safeguard patient records and follow tough data privacy laws. Their issues included:

• Threats from insiders and external attackers
• Complexity of handling different device types and types of access points
• Need for detailed audit logs for purposes of compliance

P J Networks FortiGate Solution

Our ethos was around protecting information but not at the expense of making it easy for the right people to use. Key steps included:

• Configuring FortiGate Virtual Domains and Policies with user identity-based policies
• Joining firewall to their existing active directory for user authentication
• The use of DLP (Data Loss Prevention) features to help prevent unauthorized transferring of files
• Implementing advanced threat protection to catch malware and ransomware as soon as it touches your email system

We also educated their I.T. staff members on continuing best practices and identifying early warning signs.

Consequence: Data Security and Regulations Become Critical

• Zero patient data breaches post- roll-out
• Pass compliance audits with NO security warnings
• No delays were experienced by users in reaching allowed systems
• The hospital secured patients’ trust with good security measures

The transformation “was very much a game-changer for our digital safety,” this client wrote.
