Claro Puerto Rico has received Fortinet’s 2025 Flagship Project Award for a cybersecurity initiative supporting the Puerto Rico Department of Education.

The award recognizes Claro Empresas’ Secure Internet and Content Filtering project, which has operated for more than five years and was expanded during the past year to include additional cybersecurity capabilities.

According to Claro, the project provides high-capacity connectivity, secure internet access and content filtering services to more than 900 public schools and administrative offices across Puerto Rico.

“As part of this project, we provide high-capacity links, secure internet connectivity, and content filtering services to more than 900 schools and administrative offices of the Department of Education throughout Puerto Rico,” said Enrique Ortiz de Montellano, president of Claro Puerto Rico. “The solution strictly complies with federal regulations, including the Children’s Internet Protection Act.”

The system incorporates multiple layers of cybersecurity protection, including firewall, antivirus, intrusion prevention, spam filtering, content filtering and malware detection, according to the company. Claro said the project uses Fortinet technologies such as FortiGate, FortiAnalyzer, FortiManager, FortiMonitor and FortiSwitches.

The company said the initiative supports secure internet access for students, teachers and administrative personnel while limiting exposure to cyber threats and restricting access to content considered inappropriate for minors under federal standards.

Claro said Fortinet’s recognition reflects the scope of the project and its implementation within Puerto Rico’s public education system.
