Overview

For the Pittsburgh Steelers, success on the field is measured by players’ ability to defend the goal line. For the team’s technology group, success is measured by the ability of staff to protect fan data, football data, and business data. This data, and the organization’s technology resources, reside in three facilities located around Pittsburgh, including its revered Acrisure Stadium. When the Steelers organization was looking for a new security provider 15 years ago, it needed solutions that would provide outstanding security, including advanced threat protection, while offering scalability and high performance.

Empowering the Pittsburgh Steelers to Converge Networking and Security

Establishing a Secure Defense with Fortinet

The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Fortinet as their security vendor and deployed FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) and FortiSwitch secure Ethernet switches, along with FortiClient for secure VPN usage. The technology staff manage the network using FortiManager, FortiMonitor, and FortiAnalyzer. These solutions’ single-pane-of-glass view to the Fortinet Security Fabric gives the security team the visibility and control they need into both networking and security, while increasing the team’s efficiency.
