Fortinet Unveils New Real-Time Response and Automation Capabilities
Across its Security Fabric, Empowering CISOs to Build a
Self-Defending Ecosystem
Accelerate 2023
Michael Xie, Founder, President and CTO at
Fortinet“From our founding, Fortinet’s broad portfolio has
been built with integration and automation in mind. Our commitment
to this vision has made Fortinet a leader in supporting customers
with consolidating point products into one unified cybersecurity
platform – what we call the Fortinet Security Fabric. With today’s
news, we are taking this commitment one step further by adding new
real-time response and automation capabilities to improve efficacy,
increase effectiveness, and accelerate time to resolution of
sophisticated attacks.”
News Summary Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT), the
global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking
and security, today announced it has expanded the Fortinet Security
Fabric with new and enhanced products and capabilities to enable
advanced threat prevention and coordinated response for a
self-defending ecosystem across networks, endpoints, and
clouds.
The Majority of Organizations are Pursuing a
Consolidation Strategy for Their Security
According to a recent survey from Gartner®, 75 percent of
organizations are pursuing security vendor consolidation, up from
29 percent in 2020. The same survey notes, “Security and risk
management leaders are increasingly dissatisfied with the
operational inefficiencies and the lack of integration of a
heterogenous security stack. Buyers are now looking for more
efficient and integrated solutions, rather than point security
products.”1
The Fortinet Security Fabric Supports
Consolidation
Fortinet leads vendor consolidation with its Security Fabric
platform comprised of over 50 enterprise-grade products. Today,
Fortinet is widening this leadership position even further by
adding new real-time response and automation capabilities across
its Security Fabric to transform detection to real-time protection.
New products and enhancements, including the introduction of
FortiOS 7.4, span the following five key areas:
Endpoint Security & Early Response
- Simplify and expedite incident analysis: Built
on a cloud-native foundation, FortiEDR and FortiXDR now provide
additional interactive incident visualization with enriched
contextual incident data using multiple threat intelligence feeds
that enable customers to simplify and expedite investigations.
- Block anomalous and malicious network
activity: Unveiled today is a new FortiNDR Cloud offering
which combines robust artificial intelligence, complemented by
pragmatic analysis and breach protection technology. The solution
provides 365-day retention and visibility into network data, with
built-in playbooks, and threat hunting capabilities to detect
anomalous and malicious behavior on the network. Customers can also
now choose from a self-contained, on-premises deployment powered by
Fortinet’s Virtual Security Analyst or a new guided SaaS offering
maintained by advanced threat experts from FortiGuard Labs.
- Mitigate supply chain risks: FortiRecon,
supported by threat experts from FortiGuard Labs, now delivers
enhanced proactive threat intelligence into critical risks
associated with supply chain vendors and partners, including
external exposed assets, leaked data, and ransomware attack
intelligence.
- Deceive threat actors in real time and at
scale: FortiDeceptor now offers vulnerability outbreak
defense. When a vulnerability is reported by FortiGuard Labs, the
vulnerability is automatically pushed as a feed to the outbreak
decoy, to deceive attackers from real assets to fake assets and
quarantine the attack early in the kill chain. Further, a SOAR
playbook can automatically initiate the creation and strategically
place deception assets to gather granular intel and stop suspicious
activities.
- Access and share threat intelligence with a global
community: FortiDeceptor also now offers a new attack
exchange program which allows FortiDeceptor customers to
anonymously exchange valuable intel on the most current attacks and
take proactive steps to avoid a breach.
SOC Automation & Augmentation
- Further simplify security operations and accelerate the
detection of threats: FortiAnalyzer enables more
sophisticated event correlation across different types of log
sources using a new intuitive rules editor that can be mapped to
MITRE ATT&CK® use cases. In addition, FortiSOAR now offers a
turnkey SaaS subscription option, inline playbook recommendations
driven by ML, extensive OT security features and playbooks, and
unique no/low code playbook creation enhancements.
- Reduce alert triage and power more effective threat
hunting: FortiSIEM now includes new link graph technology
which allows for easy visualization of relationships between users,
devices, and incidents. The solution is also now powered by an
advanced machine learning framework, which enhances protection by
detecting anomalies and outliers that may be missed by traditional
methods.
- Remain one step ahead of adversaries: Fortinet
now offers AI-assisted incident triage through its FortiGuard
SOC-as-a-Service offering, as well as new SOC operations readiness
and compromise assessment services from FortiGuard Labs.
AI-Powered Threat Intelligence
- Effectively counter multi-step, cyber-physical
attacks: Fortinet has enhanced its FortiGuard AI-powered
Device Security Services to further support IT/OT convergence. Time
to protection is significantly reduced with enhanced automated
virtual patching for both OT and IT devices based on global threat
intelligence, zero-day research, and CVE query service. Granular OT
security at the industry level is enhanced with Industrial Internet
of Things (IIoT) and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) device
convergence.
- Reduce time to remediation and increase threat hunting
effectiveness with new mapping of industrial devices and
communication paths to the Purdue Reference Model hierarchy, new
OT-specific playbooks for threat remediation, and incorporated use
of the ICS MITRE ATT&CK® matrix for OT threat analysis.
Identity and Access
- Secure access to critical assets: Providing
secure remote access for IT and OT networks, FortiPAM, an integral
component of Fortinet’s Identity and Access Management portfolio
also comprised of FortiAuthenticator and FortiToken, now includes
zero-trust network access (ZTNA) controls when users try to access
critical assets. The ZTNA tags can be applied to check device
posture continuously for vulnerabilities, updated AV signatures,
location, and machine groups.
Application Security
- Identify and fix vulnerabilities and misconfigurations
in pre-production and runtime applications: FortiDevSec is
a new comprehensive application security testing solution
incorporating SAST, DAST and SCA, for early vulnerability and
misconfigurations detection, and protection including secret
discovery. The tool scans application code in CI/CD pipelines and
provides actionable remediation information to developers. The tool
natively integrates with Jenkins, Bamboo, Azure DevOps, and
more.
Supporting Quotes
“The received wisdom in security has long been that one should
choose best-of-breed products and stitch them all together. Across
the industry, the prevailing wisdom has changed as people
increasingly realize that it makes more sense to have an integrated
stack where different components work seamlessly together to create
a proactive and automated security posture, and it is great to see
this approach reflected in Fortinet’s Security Fabric.” – JP
DiCicco, IT Manager Infrastructure Operations, RES Americas
“Adding additional Fortinet products into our environment and
having that single Security Fabric really allows us to respond
quickly to incidents, whereas before with the different siloed
systems, they did not communicate with each other, so their
intelligence was limited. But when we started migrating to the
Fortinet suite, it really provided a lot of intelligence and
automation to allow us to respond more quickly and to be more
proactive.” – Andy Craig, Chief Innovation Officer, Maple
