That not only makes us more efficient, but it has removed some of the guesswork of troubleshooting, so we can resolve issues internally more quickly.\u201d<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START --><strong>Unifying Security Across Facilities and the Field<\/strong><!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->With security needs spanning Bank of America Stadium, Atrium Health Performance Park, and a mobile workforce that includes\u00a0global scouts and operations staff, TSE selected\u00a0Fortinet\u00a0to unify and modernize its security posture and reduce vendor complexity while enhancing visibility and control. TSE needed a solution that was simple to manage without sacrificing security.\u00a0Fortinet\u00a0enables consistent protection and performance across the entire TSE footprint, including critical facilities, key technology investments, and staff, while also addressing the growing volume of IoT and connected devices that connect throughout their high-density event environments.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->\u201cOrganizations like Tepper Sports &amp; Entertainment are modernizing their infrastructure to meet rising security demands without adding operational overhead,\u201d said Jaime Romero, Executive Vice President, Marketing at Fortinet. \u201cBy leveraging Fortinet Unified SASE and FortiGuard AI-powered Security Services, TSE can protect users and data everywhere, from stadiums to remote locations, while simplifying management for a lean IT team.
