Fortinet, a global player in high-performance cybersecurity solutions, has launched its FortiGate VMX next-generation and internal segmentation firewall (NGFW/ISFW).
The FortiGate VMX with the VMware NSX network virtualisation platform enables organisations to automate advanced cybersecurity in the software-defined data centre (SDDC).
Working with VMware, Fortinet developed the FortiGate VMX to fully leverage the capabilities of the VMware NSX network virtualisation platform, enabling customers to automate the insertion, deployment and orchestration of FortiGate VMX for threat protection inside their data centre environments.
“NTT Com Security has been working closely with our clients and industry leaders like Fortinet to leverage the security benefits of network virtualisation,” said Dave Polton, Chief Technology Architect at NTT Com Security.
“Bringing cloud and security technologies together with the VMware vSphere and VMware NSX platforms enables our clients to benefit from greater security and efficiency as we transition them to a SDDC, while empowering our customers with even better levels of managed service.”
Recent high-profile security breaches have highlighted the need for security solutions that expand beyond the traditional edge defense strategies and segment networks internally, avoiding the rapid spread of threats once inside the data center. VMware brings an SDDC approach to network security with micro-segmentation, isolating communications across unrelated networks, controlling the communications within a network and integrating with advanced security services like Fortinet’s ISFW.
The native security capabilities of VMware NSX, including micro-segmentation, distributed firewalling and security operations automation, enable policy-based segmentation of network traffic and threat protection at the workload level controls for east-west traffic.
The NSX distributed service framework enables dynamic insertion of Fortinet’s ISFW/NGFW technologies using Fortinet’s Network Security Function Virtualization (NSFV) feature. Fortinet also provides high-speed, north-south network security appliances, providing a holistic data centre solution under a single policy model.
“Fortinet has been working closely with VMware to arm customers with the same level of cybersecurity inside the data center as they do at the perimeter. FortiGate VMX demonstrates our commitment to the VMware partnership and ecosystem,” said John Maddison, VP of products and solutions at Fortinet.
