Fastest-Growing Media Company in India Deploys FortiGate-800 and FortiGate-400A Enterprise-Class Multi-threat Security Systems
【2006年05月17日，SUNNYVALE, Calif., 訊】– the pioneer and leading provider of multi-threat security solutions – today announced that CNBC-TV18, the largest and fastest growing media company in India, has purchased and deployed four FortiGate enterprise security appliances to protect its bandwidth-intensive network of broadcast television and news stations and online financial news portal.
A joint venture between CNBC Asia and Television Eighteen (TV18), CNBC-TV18 is India’s top news medium, delivering important business and financial news content to more than 28 million households. TV18 network also has moneycontrol.com, a financial and business news portal, and other television news channels such as Awaaz, South Asia World and CNN-IBN. The steady growth in business throughout India has helped CNBC-TV18 experience an annual growth rate of nearly 100 percent since its inception in 1993.
High Bandwidth Networks Need High Performance Security
CNBC-TV18’s rapid growth and expansion required the need to secure more data, applications and users on its bandwidth-intensive network, which routinely handles large amounts of video and voice traffic. This, coupled with an increase in security incidents and a greater demand for failover for online site, prompted the media company to search for a more scalable, comprehensive and higher performance security solution.
After evaluating solutions from several vendors, CNBC-TV18 found that Fortinet’s FortiGate family of multi-threat security appliances were best able to meet all its needs. Sify, a Fortinet solutions provider partner, helped the company deploy its new security infrastructure which comprises two FortiGate- 800 enterprise-class high performance security systems at CNBC-TV18’s Mumbai office and two FortiGate- 400A systems at its Delhi office. The FortiGate devices are also protecting 17 other bureaus of CNBC-TV18 in India and abroad, connecting to the Mumbai and Delhi offices through either leased lines or VSAT.
“Traffic on our networks is typically very high, but we cannot afford any downtime or even slow network performance because we are in the business of delivering information in a timely manner,” said Rajesh Sharma, senior manager systems, at CNBC-TV18. “Fortinet has helped us considerably by eliminating spam, viruses and worms that can easily clog our networks and bring operations to a stand-still.”
Since deploying Fortinet’s FortiGate platforms, CNBC has been unaffected by a security incident, such as a virus and worm outbreak. Additionally, the MIS support team has noticed that the unified threat management systems are significantly easier to administer and manage than the point solutions they used previously.
Fortinet's market-leading FortiGate systems are ASIC-accelerated security appliances that deliver real-time network protection through the integration of a broad range of security functions -- including firewall, virtual private networking (VPN), antivirus, intrusion prevention (IPS), Web filtering, traffic shaping, and anti-spam. All of Fortinet's FortiGate systems are ICSA-certified, easy to manage and provide cost-effective network-level and content-level protection at the network gateway and edge. The systems are kept up to date automatically through Fortinet's FortiGuard? Network, which delivers continuous and automatic signature 'push' updates that ensure protection against the latest viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware, intrusions and other threats around the clock, and around the world.
“Media companies have very high requirements for network uptime, performance and protection. The availability of news and information cannot be risked by a security breach,” said Hansen Chang, vice president for Fortinet APAC. “The selection of Fortinet by CNBC-TV18, one of the world’s most highly acclaimed media outlets, is a significant endorsement of the capabilities of Fortinet and our FortiGate products.”
