For the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), safeguarding sensitive consumer and utility data while enabling seamless operations across the state is non-negotiable. How do you boost perimeter and endpoint security, enable secure remote access, and achieve major cost savings, all with tight integration and operational efficiency? CPUC made the switch to Fortinet, deploying FortiGate NGFWs, FortiAnalyzer, FortiNAC, and FortiClient EMS, and immediately saw a 20–30% increase in perimeter security efficacy, a 95% improvement in switch port security, and a 40% reduction in total cost of ownership. “Overall, I think we are saving about 40% on our security architecture because of the transition to Fortinet,” shares Network and Security Manager Francis Souza. That’s the Fortinet difference: empowering public sector agencies to modernize, simplify, and secure their operations, while delivering value and peace of mind to every stakeholder. #Fortinet #Cybersecurity #CustomerSuccess #PublicSector #SecurityFabric #MissionFocused

𝑮𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒊𝒔𝒏’𝒕 𝒂 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚—𝒊𝒕’𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒘𝒂𝒍𝒍🚨 ➡️62% of defense contractors are failing CMMC 2.0 governance requirements. That’s not just a compliance issue. It’s a supply chain vulnerability with national consequences. ➡️The latest [#Kiteworks](https://lnkd.in/gdAqgehg) report reveals what separates the certified from the sidelined: 🔹 Mid-market firms lead encryption success through governance-first strategies 🔹 Measurement discipline drives a 6-point improvement in security outcomes 🔹 Only 22% embed security requirements in supplier contracts—a critical gap 🔹 External consultants offer no advantage without internal accountability ➡️As someone who builds privacy-by-design loyalty systems and teaches governance as emotional architecture, I see this as a defining moment: CMMC 2.0 isn’t about passing audits. It’s about proving maturity, trust, and mission alignment. 📌 Read the full analysis and benchmark your readiness: [CMMC Governance Crisis Report](https://lnkd.in/gdAqgehg) #CMMC #DFARS #Cybersecurity #Governance #DefenseIndustrialBase #PrivacyByDesign #Kiteworks #ComplianceLeadership #ZeroTrust
