Fortinet announced its presence at GISEC 2015 to highlight Advanced Threat Protection (ATP), a strategic approach against an increasingly sophisticated threats. Kalle Bjorn, Director Systems Engineering Middle East and Ahmad Arafat, Senior Systems Engineering at Fortinet will explain how, to combat these attacks, Fortinet brings together two complementary technologies: Next Generation Firewall and Sandboxing into a comprehensive and cost effective solution.
Fortinet experts will discuss the need and effectiveness of a comprehensive, multi-technology three point strategy that focuses on minimizing the planes of attack, understanding when a threat does penetrate network defenses and rapidly respond to eliminate the threat – Prevention, Detection, and Mitigation.
“Sophisticated advanced persistent threats and recent serial high-profile data breaches have made regional organizations more security conscious that ever. In 2015, we expect to see cybercriminals, fueled by the success of high profile hacks, continue to innovate with an even greater focus on deceiving and evading existing security solutions,” says Alain Penel, Regional Vice President – Middle East, Fortinet.
“As attacks continue to become more advanced, so must the security solutions used by organizations to protect themselves. And, thanks to Fortinet’s ATP framework, the combination of our Prevent, Detect and Mitigate approach to advanced threats enables organizations to stop known threats before they infect the infrastructure, discover new threats and then learns to continually evolve and deliver enhanced threat prevention.” Penel added.
