Real-World Use Case: A Logistics Firm in JAFZA

A mid-sized logistics company operating in Jebel Ali Free Zone faced issues with ransomware, phishing attempts, and unauthorized access to its internal systems. Their old firewall could not handle increasing remote access demand and lacked SSL inspection, exposing the network to encrypted threats.

After a comprehensive audit, ACS-DXB recommended a FortiGate 100F firewall with integrated SD-WAN and advanced threat protection. The team:

• Installed and configured the device with custom policies

• Set up secure VPNs for remote employees

• Deployed centralized management through FortiManager

• Provided staff training and 24/7 local support

In just two months, the company saw:

• 70% fewer security incidents

• Faster file transfers and system access

• Full compliance with data security audits

This transformation was only possible through the combined strength of FortiGate’s capabilities and ACS-DXB’s hands-on expertise.

Conclusion: Security That’s Built for Dubai

Dubai is building the digital economy of the future. As businesses embrace cloud, mobility, AI, and smart automation, cybersecurity must evolve just as quickly. FortiGate provides the protection your business needs to grow without fear. ACS-DXB ensures that protection is delivered, managed, and supported locally—with excellence.
