Fortinet has announced the Pittsburgh Steelers have deepened their use of the Fortinet Security Fabric platform to provide efficient and secure connectivity across all network segments, including corporate and football operations, merchandising and digital commerce, ticket operations, and public and private internet access. They also signed an agreement recognizing Fortinet as a “Proud Partner” for the 2024–2025 season.
The Steelers are one of the oldest and most decorated American football teams and have been a Fortinet customer for more than 15 years. They have implemented Fortinet solutions within Acrisure Stadium, the official home of the Pittsburgh Steelers, their training and corporate facilities at UPMC Rooney Sports Complex, their training camp at Saint Vincent College, and remote corporate and merchandising locations.
The Fortinet Security Fabric has empowered the Pittsburgh Steelers to converge networking and security across their entire environment to reduce risk, increase visibility, and ensure optimal performance. The Steelers and Fortinet have already begun planning future integrations beyond the 2024–2025 season to continue providing the best technology experience for coaches, players, operations, and fans.

Partnering with an industry-leading organization like Fortinet ensures our network remains available and we stay ahead of sophisticated threats. The Fortinet Security Fabric is critical to all our operations, whether a coach accesses a scouting directory on the road, a fan uses the in-stadium internet, or the back office closes a deal. The Pittsburgh Steelers are known for our legendary defense, and we consider the Fortinet Security Fabric a cornerstone of our technology strategy.
