Fortinet Security Fabric Enables Digital Innovation Broad, integrated, and automated protection Organizations are rapidly adopting digital innovation (DI) initiatives to accelerate their businesses, reduce costs, improve efficiency, and provide better customer experiences. Common initiatives involve moving applications and workflows to the cloud, deploying Inter net-of-Things (IoT) devices on the corporate network, and expanding the organization’s footprint to new branch locations.

With this evolving infrastructure also come security risks.

Organizations must cope with growing attack surfaces, advanced threats, increased infrastructure complexity, and an expanding regulatory landscape. To accomplish their desired DI outcomes while effectively managing

risks and minimizing complexities, organizations need to adopt a cybersecurity platform that provides visibility across their environment and a means to manage both security and network operations easily.

The Fortinet Security Fabric solves these challenges and is built on the principles of security-driven networking, zero-trust network access, dynamic cloud security, and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven security operations. Fortinet solutions are enhanced with an ecosystem of seamlessly integrated thirdparty products that minimize the gaps in enterprise security architectures, while maximizing security return on investment (ROI).

Understanding FortiOS — The Heart Of The Fortinet Security Fabric Continuous improvement provides new capabilities designed to address digital innovation goals FortiOS, the operating system of the FortiGate Next Generation Firewall (NGFW), is the heart of the Fortinet Security Fabric, tying together the different components to ensure a tight integration across an organization’s entire environment . With version 6.4, FortiOS adds new capabilities which provide improved visibility of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, enhanced network access control (NAC) integration, improved endpoint protection, and added security information and event management (SIEM) and security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) capabilities.

Keeping Pace With The Advanced Threat Landscape What CIOs should look for in a security solution Although the CISO is often a contemporary of the CIO rather than a team member, cybersecurity still impacts virtually everything the CIO spearheads, and can quickly eclipse all other priorities. Organizations are being pummeled with attacks that have increasing volume, velocity, and sophistication. Cyber criminals are using the most advanced technology to make their threats faster, more difficult to block, and more effective at achieving their objectives—whether those aims are political, financial, or just wreaking havoc.

Recommendations for CIOs and their teams to rethink their approach to cybersecurity:

• Automation of security processes. This is only possible with an end-to-end, integrated security architecture that enables centralized visibility and control.

• Breadth and scalability. Must scale to accommodate digital innovation and the expansion of the attack surface to include new devices and systems.

• Real-time threat intelligence. Keeps pace with advances in exploits by using technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and sandboxing to detect both known and unknown threats and shrink the windows for incident response and event management when intrusions do happen.

“Across the Middle East, digital innovation has changed networks so rapidly that traditional security approaches are inadequate to meet today›s needs. Organizations need to incorporate their security solutions into a single, integrated cybersecurity platform that can be deployed across the network in its entirety – branch offices, multicloud networks, remote users, and new network edges. The integrated solutions of the Fortinet Security Fabric enable organizations to embrace digital innovation and expand their digital footprint to meet their business requirements, safely and with confidence.”
