Datacenter Deployment (NGFW, IPS, Segmentation)

FortiGuard AI-Powered Security

FortiGuard’s rich suite of security services counter threats in real time using AI-powered, coordinated protection designed by FortiGuard Labs security threat researchers, engineers, and forensic specialists.

Web Security

Advanced cloud-delivered URL, DNS (Domain Name System), and Video Filtering providing complete protection for phishing and other web born attacks while meeting compliance.

Additionally, its dynamic inline CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker) service is focused on securing business SaaS data, while inline ZTNA traffic inspection and ZTNA posture check provide per-sessions access control to applications. It also integrates with the FortiClient Fabric Agent to extend protection to remote and mobile users.

Content Security

Advanced content security technologies enable the detection and prevention of known and unknown threats and file-based attack tactics in real-time. With capabilities like CPRL (Compact Pattern Recognition Language), AV, inline Sandbox, and lateral movement protection make it a complete solution to address ransomware, malware, and credential-based attacks.

Device Security

Advanced security technologies are optimized to monitor and protect IT, IIoT, and OT (Operational Technology) devices against vulnerability and device-based attack tactics. Its validated near-real-time IPS intelligence detects, and blocks known and zero-day threats, provides deep visibility and control into ICS/OT/SCADA protocols, and provides automated discovery, segmentation, and pattern identification-based policies.

Advanced Tools for SOC/NOC

Advanced NOC and SOC management tools attached to your NGFW provide simplified and faster time-to-activation.

SOC-as-a-Service

Includes tier-one hunting and automation, log location, 24x7 SOC analyst experts, managed firewall and endpoint functions, and alert triage.
