Fortify Your Cybersecurity with Fortinet
The Fortinet Security Fabric: AI-Driven Platform Approach
Within Fortinet's unified platform, three solutions redefine cybersecurity, helping you to respond to an ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape to meet constantly accelerating business needs. The solution to simplifying complex networks, distributed users, and hybrid applications is the convergence and consolidation of security, all with flexible consumption models to make buying easy.
The Fortinet Security Fabric enables automated protection, detection, and response along with consolidated visibility across both Fortinet solutions and a broad ecosystem of over 500 third-party solutions. Fortinet holds 1,045 U.S. patents—nearly three times more than comparable network security vendors—a testament to our dedication to organic innovation that delivers industry-leading cybersecurity and networking solutions. The vast majority of Fortinet’s R&D is based in North America and the company has support and centers of excellence across the globe.
Cybersecurity Innovation and Excellence
FortiOS, Fortinet’s flagship operating system, is organically built on a common management and security framework and uniquely enables the convergence of networking and security. FortiOS also serves as the foundation of the Fortinet Security Fabric, the industry’s highest performing and most expansive cybersecurity platform.
Fortinet is the only security vendor to develop and build custom security processing units (SPUs). These purpose-built ASICs offer the best price/performance and value in the industry with Security Compute Ratings that are far higher than other vendors.
Every day, FortiGuard Labs uses one of the most effective and proven AI and ML systems in the industry to process and analyze more than 100 billion events, sending actionable real-time threat intelligence to immediately increase defenses against even zero day threats.
The unique combination of FortiOS, purpose-built SPU technology, and AI-powered threat intelligence delivers superior protection driven by our commitment to cybersecurity innovation and excellence.
Network Security Solutions
Secure and Modern Networking Technology
The convergence of security and networking closes security gaps and simplifies management, saving time and costs. Fortinet’s entire portfolio of firewall solutions run on the same FortiOS operating system, enabling a hybrid mesh firewall approach that can manage downstream networking devices such as Ethernet switches, Wi-Fi access points, and 5G gateways.
Fortinet Secure Networking Products
Fortinet's Secure Networking portfolio offers a collection of hybrid mesh firewalls, Ethernet switches, Wi-Fi access points, 5G WAN gateways, management tools, and AI-powered security services that can scale to meet the demands of any network, from the branch, to the campus, to the data center.
OT Security Solutions
Industry-leading solutions transform OT with visibility, segmentation, advanced threat protection, and more.
Organizations with OT networks need a simple and effective way to get visibility and enforce security for their OT assets, often at thousands of remote sites. Fortinet's OT security solutions go beyond deep visibility, combining asset discovery with segmentation, secure connectivity, and SecOps capabilities. These solutions help to reduce organizational risk and adhere to regulatory compliance.
Use Case: Protect legacy and unpatched OT devices
FortiGate NGFWs with an active FortiGuard OT Security Service subscription can automatically shield vulnerable legacy OT devices from malicious exploits with custom OT IPS signatures. Virtual patching protects OT networks as they transform and connect to external networks like corporate IT, the internet, and cloud.
Use Case: Microsegmentation
Seamless integration between FortiGate NGFW and FortiSwitch allows for granular security policies at the port level enabling microsegmentation of OT networks and the prevention of east-west traffic.
Use Case: Securing third-party remote access
OT environments often require the expertise and remote access of third parties, whether they're contractors, auditors, or other experts. FortiSRA helps organizations to secure third-party remote access with rich controls and monitoring capabilities.
The Fortinet OT Security Platform
As an extension of the Fortinet Security Fabric, the Fortinet OT Security Platform combines deep OT visibility with automated enforcement, advanced threat protection, secure remote access, ruggedized infrastructure, and security operations capabilities. This enables consistent security and faster response to threats across your industrial network. Fortinet's solutions are purpose-built for OT and can protect organizations at all levels of the Purdue model.
OT Security Platform Components
The Fortinet OT Security Platform contains several products that seamlessly interoperate over a single operating system (FortiOS). The FortiGuard OT Security Service, ruggedized secure networking appliances, and advanced SecOps products help safeguard OT from malicious cyberthreats and operational outages.
FortiGuard Operational Technology Security Service
The FortiGuard Operational Technology Security Service provides specialized intrusion prevention system (IPS) signatures to detect and block malicious traffic targeting applications and devices in manufacturing, plant, safety, and other operational technology (OT) environments. Combined with a FortiGate NGFW, malicious network traffic is blocked before causing harm by threat actors seeking to control or disrupt operations. In addition, the service can act as a virtual patch to provide immediate security protection until a vendor patch can be developed and deployed.
IPS for OT
The FortiGuard OT Security Service, deployed with FortiGate NGFWs and fueled by threat intelligence and a stream of new signatures from FortiGuard Labs, performs passive deep packet inspection (DPI) of your industrial network traffic to detect and block threats.
Application Control for OT
The FortiGuard OT Security Service offers protection for OT devices such as PLCs, RTUs, and HMIs and associated applications as a result of signature development conformant to common OT protocols.
Virtual Patching for OT
The service can perform virtual patching of unprotected applications while awaiting a patch. Also, Fortinet works closely with automation and control system vendors to develop OT IPS signatures to address known vulnerabilities in their platforms.
FortiGuard IPS with Industrial Security
With the FortiGuard OT Security Service deployed (in concert with the FortiGuard IPS Service) across your broader security infrastructure, Fortinet is able to analyze and deploy new OT IPS signatures in near real time for coordinated network response.
Multiply this workflow across Fortinet’s global customer base and you have a network effect that accelerates protection for OT environments faster than ever.
