Fortinet, the global high-performance cybersecurity solutions provider, today unveiled its Security Fabric, an integrated, collaborative, and adaptive architecture designed to deliver distributed security for global enterprises, providing protection against threats from the Internet of Things (IoT) and remote devices, through the infrastructure core, and into the cloud.
Said Ken Xie, founder, Chairman of the board and CEO of Fortinet: “Pervasive digitisation continues to redefine business, while technology trends like IoT and cloud computing are blurring the edges of the network today. Unfortunately, many enterprises continue to rely on security strategies developed decades ago that can no longer support the ever-increasing speed of business. Unlike platforms loosely coupled at the management level, the security fabric weaves together highly sophisticated hardware and software, enabling direct communication between solutions for a unified and rapid response to threats.
"Fortinet is committed to delivering security without compromise. With its Security Fabric, Fortinet is the only vendor to be able to provide its customers with seamless protection across the expanding attack surface, and, the power to take on ever increasing performance requirements of the borderless network – today and into the future."
· Fortinet has launched its latest FortiGate 6000E and 2000E series enterprise firewalls powered by its next generation FortiASIC CP9 content processor.
· New enhancements to the Fortinet Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) framework enable dynamic generation of local threat intelligence and automated response coupled with new FortiGuard services for global threat intelligence protection.
· Delivering on its commitment to an open, integrated Security Fabric, Fortinet announces a new technology alliance with the Carbon Black Security Platform.
Sustaining innovation
Today’s digital economy connects more users, devices, applications, and data than ever before to drive business value. Billions of new IP-enabled, non-user IoT devices are transmitting vast amounts of data traversing wired and wireless access points, through both public and private networks, and across traditional and cloud infrastructures. To successfully compete in this new digital economy, organisations need to implement a tightly coordinated security strategy that can govern this data across a borderless network without compromising agility or performance.
Fortinet’s Security Fabric brings traditionally autonomous systems together into a single architecture, designed with five interdependent attributes – scalability, awareness, security, actionable, and open.
Fortinet’s scalability across the infrastructure lays the groundwork for the second fundamental attribute of awareness. The Fabric delivers complete awareness across devices, users, content, and data flowing into and out of the network, as well as insight into traffic patterns. This reduces complexity and costs while increasing management efficiencies.
Universal visibility into the infrastructure is critical to the security required in today’s evolving threat landscape. Acting as a single-pane-of-glass for Fortinet’s Security Fabric is the security operating system FortiOS. Technologies like Fortinet’s Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) Framework conduct deep inspection of traffic, dynamically generating local threat intelligence and transmitting data to FortiGuard Labs to automatically propagate real-time updates to the entire system. This breadth of intelligence coupled with sophisticated, scalable, and rapid analytics, provides an actionable security architecture with the capability to rapidly detect and mitigate threats wherever they occur.
Security Fabric is designed to integrate with an ecosystem of third-party solution providers. Fortinet works closely with its Global Alliance Partners, as well as the industry, to develop open APIs across the entire fabric, giving enterprises the flexibility to deploy Fortinet solutions alongside existing or new security technologies for integrated protection.
Most recently, Fortinet partnered with Carbon Black to provide enterprise customers with security automation, intelligence, and control through integration with the ATP Framework.
“Fortinet’s Security Fabric is a natural fit for Carbon Black’s ‘Unite’ strategy of integrating our products with those of a key partner to bring our joint customers the advantages of best-of-breed security products that work seamlessly together. New files identified by Carbon Black as potentially malicious can now be sent to FortiSandbox for deeper analysis and real-time ratings, providing customers with an additional layer of security to stop advanced threats and targeted attacks," said Tom Barsi, SVP of business development, Carbon Black.
“Mobility, the cloud and IoT (have) raised the complexity of security to new heights. A 2015 ZK Research Security Survey revealed that 43% of respondents admit to turning features off in security appliances to improve performance, indicating that most point products can no longer keep up with the number of advanced and targeted threats, rendering traditional approaches to security ineffective. It is now critical for businesses to adopt a unified security fabric that can provide the necessary layers of security without additional complexity or slowing down the network to adequately defend against today’s evolving threat landscape,” added Zeus Kerravala, Principal Analyst, ZK Research.
