Fortinet announced enhancements to its FortiClient solution at GISEC 2015 that enables every device – local or remote, stationary or mobile – to be protected anytime, anywhere. In addition, Fortinet’s two new FortiGate 3000 series high-performance firewalls, ideally suited for top-of-rack applications, help protect internal traffic and prevent threats from moving laterally within an organizations’ network.
This multi-layered security approach is critical for identifying and thwarting today’s highly-sophisticated attacks that find ways to circumvent perimeter defenses. Only Fortinet can offer such broad and integrated protection in a security platform that scales from the endpoint to the cloud, from megabit to terabit, and can be deployed across an organization from the smallest office to the largest datacenter.
“The constantly evolving threat landscape and advancements in IT infrastructures are forcing organizations across the Middle East to rethink their overall security strategy,” says Alain Penel, Regional Vice President – Middle East at Fortinet. “No longer can they rely on border-only solutions to protect against risks that threaten the health of their business. Only Fortinet’s broad cyber security platform provides protection from the endpoint to the data center or cloud. With FortiGate and FortiMail already in the ATP Framework, the addition of FortiClient closes another possible hole in protection.”
The prevalence of ‘headline-making’ data breaches demonstrates that the increase in network complexity and vast expansion of company-issued endpoint devices can result in attack surfaces with numerous entry points that are often left unprotected.
Fortinet’s extended ATP platform with its next-generation FortiClient solution can now seamlessly integrate with FortiSandbox to quickly thwart threats entering at both on-network and off-network endpoint devices. FortiClient recently received AV Comparatives’ highest Advanced+ rating for file detection, hot on the heals of a top rating in its real-world protection test this past December.
