Dubai UAE :Fortinet® , a global leader in broad, integrated and automated cybersecurity solutions, today announced its new high-performance FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs), comprised ofFortiGate 3600E, FortiGate 3400E, FortiGate 600E and FortiGate 400E Series, enabling organizations to implement Intent-based Segmentation into their security architecture.
Thecombination of business growth, workloads migrating to multiple clouds andincreasing cyber attacks makes it difficult for organizations to maintain a robust security architecture that effectively implementsconsistent security policy across all network environments. Having flat networks with a single enforcement point further compounds this problemby making it easier for cybercriminalsto get inside the network. Once inside, they become part of the trusted zone, allowing them toquickly spread threats laterally. It’s extremely hard to detect and contain these cybercriminals as they move deeper into the network, resulting in cascading risks and exfilteration of valuable data.
“Segmentation is becoming as fundamental as patching vulnerable systems”said John Maddison, EVP of products and solutions at Fortinet. “Intent-based Segmentation aligns business goals with infrastructure changes and ultimately, dynamically separatesinfrastructure to protect users, data and systems. A fundamental element of Intent-based Segmentation is the high-performance NGFW. The new FortiGate 3400E and 3600E Series provide industry-leading threat protection and SSL inspection performance allowing customers to implement a holistic end-to-end architecture.”
As existing security strategies are failing to keep pace with a complex security landscape, organizations are seekingadaptive and predictive protection that prevents the spread of threats throughout the network.With Intent-based Segmentation, organizations achieve adaptive security by intelligently segmenting IT assetsin accordance with the business intent, like addressing compliance, by having multiple enforcement points. Adaptive protection is achieved by implementing granular access control based on varying trust levels and high-performance advanced security.
Fortinet is making it easier for organizations to adopt Intent-based Segmentationwith the introduction of its new high-performance FortiGate NGFWs, which include FortiGate 3600E, FortiGate 3400E, FortiGate 600E and FortiGate 400E Series. As part of Fortinet’s Security Fabric, the new FortiGate NGFWs give organizations an integrated and consistent security policy across on-premise and cloud assets. Powered by customized Security Processor Units (SPUs), the new FortiGate NGFWsprovide full visibility and advanced threat protection without the fear of performance degradation.
