Digital transformation offers tremendous opportunities for businesses to create value, but can also create new security risks. Once a business begins a cloud migration, their attack surface grows, increasing their need for comprehensive security. Many clouds have security that covers their infrastructure, but often these native cloud firewalls do not provide the coverage needed. To satisfy customer responsibilities under a shared responsibility security model, customers need an additional security solution to protect everything they build, store, and run in the cloud.
Maintaining visibility and consistent policy enforcement becomes complicated, for many organizations, especially if teams are using different clouds. Multiple disparate systems and point solutions can create a landscape where events and threat intelligence need to be manually correlated, potentially leaving threats undetected and increasing malware dwell time. Additionally, without a built-out and well-trained security team, organizations can struggle to manage this added complexity.
Organizations need to have one consistent approach to security. With the right technology in place, they can manage a complex attack surface simply and securely.
With more than 20 years of industry experience, Fortinet secures over 500,000 global customers spanning small and mid-size organizations, enterprises, service providers, and government organizations. Fortinet’s Security Fabric delivers comprehensive protection without compromise, to address the most critical security challenges. In 2020, Fortinet was named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Network Firewalls for the 11th consecutive year.
For many customers with low-security requirements for their workloads, network security services provided by cloud vendors may be sufficient for protection. However, customers with mission-critical workloads, or who utilize a hybrid-cloud or multi-cloud model, need a solution with consistent enforcement and visibility across all their environments.
Fortinet’s FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) provides broad, integrated, and automated protection against threats across hybrid or multi-cloud environments. This adaptive cloud security solution is multilayered to protect the entire attack surface, so you can connect to the cloud with confidence.
From the datacenter to the cloud, FortiGate NGFW provides protection with application controls, malware protection, web filtering, antivirus, and IPS technology, so you can effectively maintain consistent policy enforcement and securely support changing business-critical requirements. FortiGate protects your entire attack surface, no matter the size, and easily scales as your organization grows.
As an integral part of the Fortinet Security Fabric, FortiGate can communicate with the comprehensive Fortinet security portfolio, as well as with third-party security solutions in a multivendor environment. Visibility of all your solutions is brought together by Fortinet in a centralized single-pane-of-glass management console, allowing you to maintain consistent visibility and control of policy enforcement, supported by secure encrypted connectivity across your cloud environments.
Additionally, FortiGate is regularly and automatically updated with actionable threat intelligence from FortiGuard Labs to more efficiently detect threats, and respond and reduce overall complexity. FortiGuard Labs collects and processes millions of security events per day using a broad team of cybersecurity researchers and a unique advanced AI system, alleviating the necessity for an organization to maintain highly trained security individuals in-house.
The FortiGate-VM delivers next generation firewall capabilities for organizations of all sizes, with the flexibility to be deployed as next generation firewall and/or VPN gateway.
FortiGate Secure SD-WAN provides an ideal branch and corporate connectivity solution for customers looking to secure and optimize their cloud on-ramp requirements.
Fortinet solutions for SAP use tested reference architectures to identify vulnerabilities, protect data at rest and in flight, secure applications from attack, and provide visibility into an organization’s enterprise security posture.
FortiGate improves security for remote virtual desktop deployments by providing network inspection across all footprints with virtual private network (VPN) interconnections from the endpoint, through the premise, and to the cloud.
As more and more enterprises migrate to the cloud to take advantage of the many benefits, it is more important than ever to ensure that your systems and assets in the cloud are protected.
