Fortinet® announced that Taylor Nelson Sofres (TNS) has chosen Fortinet's FortiGate multi-threat security systems as the cornerstone of its worldwide IT security strategy. Set to help protect 15,000 employees across 80 countries from viruses, worms and other Web-based threats, the full global deployment is expected to be completed by the end of 2008. TNS has also centralized its security management and reporting functions with Fortinet's FortiAnalyzer and FortiManager platforms, providing increased visibility and ease of management across its international network.

As a global market research company collating and providing real-time information on demand for a wide range of customers, TNS relies upon the Internet as the foundation for its business activity. In order to protect its resources from ever-evolving Web-based threats, TNS looked for a broad security solution that could be deployed globally to help protect its Internet gateway and increase business continuity across the organization. TNS has already deployed two FortiGate-1000A appliances in a high availability cluster for antivirus, IPS and Web filtering in its UK sites. The integrated multi-threat security solution has the large-scale capacity and resilience required to help protect all TNS' 2,200 users from malicious attacks.

In addition to the security platforms, TNS has also chosen to implement Fortinet's FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer in the UK headquarters for centralized security management and reporting capabilities, providing increased visibility, control and ease of management across the regional and global networks. These devices also help TNS to be proactive and pre-empt major disruption on its network by quickly segmenting and, if necessary, quarantining local networks in order to help prevent contamination of global operations.
