Fortinet® announced that Echoenergia has chosen the Fortinet Security Fabric to optimize infrastructure, safety, reliability, and security for its growing customer base. Echoenergia’s relationship with Fortinet started at the company’s inception when FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls were deployed in the first two wind farms acquired in May 2017, the company’s founding year. In just over a year, Echoenergia’s facilities quadrupled, now owning eight wind farms that generate more than 700MW of power. The Fortinet technological solutions were crucial for supporting this rapid growth, meeting high availability standards and ensuring safe use of innovative solutions for the industry. The Fortinet Security Fabric platform’s integrated approach to network security and broad portfolio, including products such as FortiSwitch, FortiGate, FortiAP access points, FortiAuthenticator and FortiToken, were selected because they provide Echoenergia with a holistic approach to cybersecurity that fulfills their requirements, offers intelligent and fast management and provides strong information security resources. With the deployed Fortinet solutions, Echoenergia has achieved end-to-end technical standardization, broken down geographical barriers and maintained an operational environment through multiple layers of redundancy. Additionally, the company achieved an integrated and intelligent management for internal and external communication administration, meeting the energy sector’s requirements of 99.98% communication availability.
