Fortinet has unveiled its Security Fabric, an integrated, collaborative, and adaptive architecture designed to deliver distributed security for global enterprises providing protections against threats from IoT and remote devices, through the infrastructure core, and into the cloud.
The company says Security Fabric brings traditionally autonomous systems together into a single architecture, designed with five critical and interdependent attributes – scalability, awareness, security, actionable, and open.
The company also launched its latest FortiGate 6000E and 2000E series enterprise firewalls powered by its next generation FortiASIC CP9 content processor to deliver unprecedented levels of network security performance across the Fabric.
Meanwhile, new enhancements to the Fortinet Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) framework enable dynamic generation of local threat intelligence and automated response coupled with new FortiGuard services for global threat intelligence protections.
Delivering on its commitment to an open, integrated Security Fabric, Fortinet also announced new technology alliance with the Carbon Black Security Platform to further bolster for protection against today’s most advanced and persistent threats.
“Fortinet’s Security Fabric is a natural fit for Carbon Black’s ‘Unite’ strategy of integrating our products with those of a key partner to bring our joint customers the advantages of best-of-breed security products that work seamlessly together. New files identified by Carbon Black as potentially malicious can now be sent to FortiSandbox for deeper analysis and real-time ratings, providing customers with an additional layer of security to stop advanced threats and targeted attacks,” says om Barsi, senior vice president of business development, Carbon Black.
