Zero trust network access (ZTNA) is widely replacing perimeter security. As organizations enable remote work policies, they also extend the number of endpoint devices outside their corporate firewalls.
Further weakening their network security is the staggering increase in the volume and velocity of cyberattacks as cybercriminals leverage their newly acquired AI savvy to launch more sophisticated malware and phishing attacks.
As a security leader, you have no doubt encouraged your clients to adopt a zero-trust philosophy which assumes that any entity is a threat whether inside or outside their network. It’s likely that you’ve implemented multi-factor authentication and verification policies that kick in whenever a user or device attempts to access your clients’ network.
And of course, you’re monitoring your clients’ network for specific events such as changes in the devices being used, unusual logins or several failed login attempts.
Sadly, that’s not enough to safeguard your client’s networks anymore. It’s time to consider enhancing your clients’ ZTNA with User-Based Risk Scoring. The good news is that Fortinet can help.
Fortinet’s ZTNA solution now includes user-based risk scoring, providing deeper insights into potentially malicious behaviors and events inside your client’s network. This feature feeds data from our endpoint detection and response (FortiEDR) and security information and event management (FortiSIEM) offerings into the ZTNA product, which analyzes the information to identify unusual events.
With User-Based Risk Scoring, you can track unusual user behaviors and customize risk scoring to break only when a potentially risky situation occurs, such as when an intern attempts to download payroll data.
Fortinet’s ZTNA solution enables universal enforcement and policies across your client’s entire environment, including remote employees. While most vendors only support cloud-based architecture, Fortinet supports cloud-based services and hybrid networks. This is possible because Fortinet ZTNA was built on FortiOS, our single operating system.
These unique capabilities have positioned Fortinet’s ZTNA product as an industry leader. According to the Gartner® Market Share report, Fortinet is ranked amongst the top five ZTNA vendors with the fastest growing revenue quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year.
