India’s Leading Bank Cuts Network Costs and Boosts Security with Fortinet SD-WAN

Wysetek deploys Fortinet’s secure SD-WAN solution to help a leading Indian bank reduce MPLS costs, enhance security, and scale across 100+ branches with centralized control. 

A prominent Indian banking institution partnered with Wysetek to modernize its aging and fragmented network infrastructure. The objective was to shift from legacy MPLS connections to a more agile, scalable, and secure solution that could meet growing digital demands across a widespread branch network and data centers. Wysetek implemented Fortinet Secure SD-WAN to deliver centralized management, application-aware routing, and enterprise-grade security—all within a cost-efficient framework.

Challenge

The bank’s existing MPLS-based WAN architecture was both expensive and inflexible, creating performance bottlenecks and operational inefficiencies. As the bank expanded its footprint and digital offerings, the lack of centralized visibility and control, coupled with increasing security threats, created a pressing need for a network overhaul. The institution required a solution that could seamlessly connect its distributed locations, deliver strong cybersecurity, and simplify IT operations.

Wyse Solution

Wysetek designed and deployed a Fortinet Secure SD-WAN solution equipped with integrated Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) capabilities, Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), and centralized orchestration using FortiManager. The implementation enabled dynamic, application-aware traffic routing and zero-touch provisioning across all branches. This not only accelerated deployment timelines but also enhanced operational efficiency by providing real-time visibility and control from a unified management console.

Impact

The bank realized significant performance and cost benefits from the new architecture. MPLS dependency was reduced by 45%, cutting recurring network costs while boosting speed and reliability. Application performance across all critical services saw marked improvement, enhancing the end-user experience. Centralized visibility and threat protection empowered the IT team to maintain tighter security postures while reducing manual overhead. Overall, the Fortinet SD-WAN deployment by Wysetek laid the foundation for scalable digital transformation and secure branch expansion.
