With our solutions, Manipal Hospitals is able to achieve the level of security required in a sensitive environment such as healthcare, without sacrificing performance or loosing visibility on what is happening on their network.
 
Nandkishore Dhomne, CIO, Manipal Health Enterprises, Manipal Group, said, We needed an enterprise-class multi-layered information security solution well suited to group hospitals, which had to be highly scalable to keep up with our growth and also offer secure remote access to hospital network users accessing sensitive business applications and data. With Fortinet, we found an end-to-end solution that secures the network with integrated authentication and centralized management without any compromise.
