Fortinet has announced a significant update to the company’s FortiOS network security operating system, along with new releases for integrated reporting, advanced threat protection (APT) and strong authentication. These releases demonstrate Fortinet’s vision of extending the next-generation firewall (NGFW) to address the challenges facing today’s enterprises including increasingly complex cyber threats. As a result, Fortinet’s FortiGate appliances, which routinely deliver five times faster performance than competitive offerings, will deliver even greater performance and more security.
“Security leaders must address threats from rising SSL traffic,” wrote Jeremy D’hoinne and Adam Hils, Research Directors with Gartner. “Less than 20% of organizations with a firewall, an intrusion prevention system (IPS) or a unified threat management (UTM) appliance decrypt inbound or outbound SSL traffic. Gartner believes that, in 2017, more than half of the network attacks targeting enterprises will use encrypted traffic to bypass controls, up from less than 5% today.”
“Enterprises today are clamoring for improved network visibility that includes deeper packet inspection and granular control over network access, traffic, content and use, and they want it without introducing bottlenecks into the real-world traffic flow,” said Rajesh Maurya, Country Manager, India& SAARC for Fortinet. “Today, Fortinet extends that capability with advanced threat protection and authentication, all from a single vendor and all orchestrated through a single management console.”
FortiOS 5 is the operating system foundation for the FortiGate platform and offers a broad range of world class security capabilities and configuration options.
