The Andrea Bocelli Foundation (ABF) supports projects across Italy and abroad that promote education as a means of helping people overcome cycles of poverty, illiteracy, and distress. The nonprofit has built 10 schools in Italy and Haiti, as well as supporting other initiatives. As the future becomes increasingly digital, technology plays a key role in the foundation’s work, which means that building a secure network infrastructure is foundational to every ABF project’s success.
ABF relies on FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls, FortiSwitch secure enterprise switches, and FortiAP wireless access points to protect the educational resources of tomorrow’s global citizens. At the same time, the foundation utilizes the FortiPhish phishing simulation tool and the Fortinet Security Awareness and Training Service to teach young people critical cybersecurity skills. Together, the Fortinet solutions help maximize the safety of students and staff, while creating a cyber-aware culture that significantly reduces the risk of a security breach.
“Driving effective social change is a gradual process with many varied challenges along the way. But through our partnership with Fortinet, we know that our cybersecurity challenges are now in the safest possible hands.”
– Silvia Gualdani, CFO and Deputy Director, Andrea Bocelli Foundation
