Fortinet's Security Fabric lies at the core of addressing organizations' dual challenges: advancing digital transformation and safeguarding against escalating cyber threats.
This seamless and scalable framework adeptly adapts to evolving IT infrastructures, ranging from on-premises systems to multi-cloud environments. Such adaptability not only bolsters security but also elevates operational efficiency, ensuring that your security protocols remain harmoniously aligned with your IT developments.
"Fortinet's Security Fabric extends comprehensive cybersecurity across the entire digital landscape of an organization, connecting different security (devices) and tools across the network to function as a single, integrated system,” reports a timely e-book, “Staying Ahead of Cyberthreats: Leveraging the Power of Secure Networking.”
The Fortinet publication provides extensive explanations and cuts to the heart of why secure networking is as important as ever:
“Eighty-nine percent of board directors say that digital business is now embedded in all business growth strategies. However, just 35 percent of board directors report that they have achieved or are on track to achieving digital transformation goal,” it reports.
This Fortinet Security Fabric architecture extends comprehensive cybersecurity across the entire digital landscape of an organization—connecting different security devices, networking infrastructure, and tools across the network to function as a single, integrated system. This holistic approach not only ensures uniform security policies and visibility across all network segments but also facilitates automated responses to threats in real-time.
This gap between organizations that are growing their digital footprint - and those that have achieved their digital transformation goal - is a pressing issue for many, highlighting the need for integrated solutions that not only secure, but also enable digital initiatives.
Fortinet’s approach, with its emphasis on secure networking, aims to bridge this gap, providing the tools necessary for companies to expand the user of their network securely and confidently.
Central to the secure networking strategy is next-generation capabilities like Hybrid Mesh Firewalls (HMFs) and advancements in Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) as well as Ethernet Switching and Wi-Fi Access Points that can natively coordinate with cybersecurity tools
Additionally, the adoption of AI for Network Operations (AIOps) plays a crucial role in simplifying network management. AIOps utilizes machine learning to automate the monitoring and maintenance of network health, proactively addressing issues before they impact the network. This proactive approach not only enhances security, but also improves the overall efficiency and reliability of network operations, giving you the confidence that your network is always in good hands.
Networks today are the center of innovation and enable digital acceleration using network modernization. Adopting a secure networking strategy helps fortify organizations so they can be safe and successful in their digital acceleration efforts.
