Fortinet announced that organizations using its Secure LAN Edge platform achieved a 308% return on investment with payback in under six months, according to a new Total Economic Impact study by Forrester Consulting. The study found that deployments led to a 60% reduction in breach risk from external attacks, 50% greater network operations efficiency, and 80% less unplanned downtime over three years.

The analysis estimated that a composite organization realized $13.1 million in benefits over three years against $3.2 million in costs, producing a $9.9 million net present value. Consolidating wired, wireless, and security management through Fortinet’s unified platform reduced operational complexity, improved visibility, and cut incident response times by 75%.

Fortinet said these results demonstrate how converging networking and security through its FortiOS-based, AI-driven Security Fabric boosts both protection and efficiency. The company’s Secure LAN Edge integrates FortiSwitch, FortiAP, FortiManager, and FortiGate with centralized management and AI-powered security services.

Headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, Fortinet (Nasdaq: FTNT) serves more than half a million customers worldwide with a portfolio of over 50 enterprise-grade cybersecurity products.
