Fortinet has announced a new suite of cybersecurity products and services designed to enhance early threat detection and intrusion isolation in industrial environments. Fortinet’s new offerings include FortiDeceptor Rugged 100G, FortiPAM Privileged Access Management, FortiSIEM unified security analytics dashboards, FortiSOAR, and FortiGuard Industrial Security Service. Fortinet’s latest products also include new OT-specific analysis and preparation services such as Fortinet Cyber Threat Assessment Program (CTAP) for OT and OT Tabletop Exercises for OT Security Teams. The company’s new products and services demonstrate its commitment to providing advanced cybersecurity solutions to protect IT and OT environments from emerging threats and vulnerabilities.
Fortinet Expands OT Security with New Cybersecurity Products
Fortinet, a global leader in cybersecurity, has introduced new products and services designed for operational technology (OT) environments. This new offering expands the capabilities of the Fortinet Security Fabric, enabling organizations to create a platform of integrated solutions to effectively mitigate cyber risk in their OT and IT environments.
According to John Maddison, Vice President of Products and CMO at Fortinet, OT environments are more connected to the cloud and supply chains than ever before, creating an enormous opportunity for cyber attackers. Traditional information security products are not well-suited for cyber-physical security. Therefore, the Fortinet Security Fabric for OT was specifically designed for operational technology.
To emphasize its commitment to OT security, Fortinet has launched new products and services developed to help organizations better protect their OT environments. Fortinet’s OT solutions are integrated with the Fortinet Security Fabric to enable IT/OT convergence and connectivity seamlessly. This improves visibility and real-time response across the entire attack surface, and enables security operations center (SOC) teams to be more efficient and effective in response times across factories, facilities, remote locations, and vehicles.
One of the specialized new products is the FortiGate 70F Rugged Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW), the latest addition to Fortinet’s rugged portfolio designed for harsh environments. It features a new compact design with unified networking and security capabilities on a single processor. Equipped with FortiGuard AI-powered enterprise-class security services, the 70F offers complete coverage for content, web, and device security with SD-WAN, universal zero trust network access (ZTNA), and dedicated OT and IoT services integrated with LAN edge controllers. 5G support is also available thanks to integration with FortiExtender.
Fortinet’s new products and services for OT security demonstrate the company’s commitment to reducing cybersecurity risk in cyber-physical and industrial control systems.
Fortinet Announces New Cybersecurity Products and Services for Early Threat Detection
Fortinet, the global cybersecurity leader, has announced new products and services designed to improve early threat detection and intrusion isolation in harsh industrial environments. One of the latest offerings is the FortiDeceptor Rugged 100G model, a rugged hardware designed for industrially harsh environmental conditions. FortiDeceptor (both hardware and VM) also introduces new OT/IoT/IT traps to support different environments. To combat emerging threats and vulnerabilities, FortiDeceptor now enables the on-demand creation of deception traps based on newly discovered vulnerabilities or suspicious activity, providing automated, dynamic protection in OT/IoT/IT environments.
Fortinet also offers FortiPAM Privileged Access Management for Secure Remote Access, an enterprise-grade privileged access management system for both IT and OT ecosystems. It includes secure remote access to critical assets that are organized and monitored via workflow-based access approvals and video recording of sessions. FortiPAM also supports secure file exchange and a password vault to manage and keep all credentials private. ZTNA supports integration with FortiClient, FortiAuthenticator and FortiToken to enable single sign-on and multi-factor authentication.
Fortinet has enhanced SOC teams’ response times in OT and IT environments through FortiSIEM unified security analytics dashboards, which now include event correlation and mapping of security events to the Purdue Model. There is also support for embedded parsers for OT security solutions, MITER ATT&CK for ICS control panel for OT-specific threat analysis, and data diode technologies. FortiSOAR now offers features to reduce alert fatigue and enable security automation and orchestration in IT and OT environments. Features include IT/OT dashboards mapped to the Purdue Model hierarchy, OT-specific playbook options, MITER ATT&CK for ICS for threat analysis, and enhanced integrations and connectors for OT threat intelligence.
Additionally, Fortinet’s FortiGuard Industrial Security Service supports deep packet inspection specific to OT protocols, with over 2 OT application control signatures and intrusion signatures for over 500 known EKS vulnerabilities. Vulnerable assets can be patched virtually using FortiGate’s next-generation intrusion prevention system (IPS).
To prevent threats, Fortinet has introduced new OT-specific analysis and preparation services, including the Fortinet Cyber Threat Assessment Program (CTAP) for OT, which provides OT network security, control of application flows, and expert guidance that allows organizations to improve the security state of their OT environments. Fortinet also offers OT Tabletop Exercises for OT Security Teams led by the FortiGuard Incident Response team with expertise in threat analysis, threat prevention, and incident response. These drills help OT security teams identify vulnerabilities through a series of real-world OT attack scenarios to test an organization’s incident response plan.
Fortinet’s latest offerings demonstrate its commitment to providing organizations with the most advanced cybersecurity solutions to protect their IT and OT environments against emerging threats and vulnerabilities.
