Fortinet is expanding our Zero Trust solution to now add Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) capabilities.  This new feature combines the benefits of an improved, secure remote access tunnel with grannual control of application access.   This session will lay out how ZTNA access replaces traditional VPN tunnels with an easier and more secure means of accessing applications.  At the same time, ZTNA improved security for applications by both hiding them from the Internet and verifying users and devices before every session.  Come learn about the new ZTNA features that arrived with FOS 7.0. 

Many organizations today are transitioning to a digital ecosystem. They are moving resources and applications to the cloud and adopting telework as the new norm for a growing percentage of their workforce due to the global pandemic. These and similar changes have made it increasingly important for them to ensure that every user has secure access rights to the resources they need, at any time, no matter where they are located. Join us to learn how the Fortinet Identity and Access Management solution enables organizations to provide secure access to critical assets along with other high-value user facing services.

The shifting nature of how and where work is done has resulted in a new approach to control access.  While it is still important to know and control everyone and everything on the network, it is becoming necessary to control access at the application layer as well, no matter where a user is working.  Come learn how Fortinet's Zero Trust Access (ZTA) solution is evolving to address the new shape of work while still protecting your networks. 

Cloud security can be an enabler for your organization’s digital innovation strategy. The cloud enables agility, flexibility, and scalability for both applications and infrastructure that cannot be achieved any other way. But “cloud” isn’t just one thing – over 93% of organizations operate and deploy applications in a hybrid or multi-cloud environment in order to support legacy code, address privacy concerns, or meet regulatory requirements. At the same time, this complex, distributed, and ever-evolving cloud environment also creates a new, broader attack surface that requires a different approach to security. 

Learn how Fortinet’s Cloud Application Security solutions deliver seamless and consistent security for any application on any cloud, providing organizations with the freedom and flexibility they need to confidently adopt the cloud strategies that best meet their unique needs. 
 

Cloud Transformations are at the heart of Digital Innovation. Organizations require the agility, availability and global reach of Cloud services like Public clouds to differentiate, drive efficiencies and grow their business. Today, over 93% of organizations operate and deploy applications in a hybrid or multi-cloud environment. But, this results in a complex, distributed, and ever-changing environment that poses more challenges like a much broader attack surface, skills shortages, operational overheads and rising costs.

Learn how Fortinet’s Cloud Network Security solutions deliver a scalable, consistent and highly efficient security framework for any cloud, giving organizations the freedom and flexibility they need to adopt the unique cloud strategies driving their business outcomes.

Digital innovation continues to be the catalyst for organizations shift to the cloud.  Over 93% of organizations have also implemented multi-cloud strategies to achieve the agility, flexibility, productivity and scalability for applications and infrastructure.  And as cloud adoption accelerates, complexity and risk also increases with dynamic environments, distributed users, and the proliferation of applications and devices that has created a new, broader attack surface that organizations need to navigate through.

Learn how Fortinet’s Cloud Platform Security solutions deliver consistent security across any cloud, giving organizations the visibility and confidence they need to adopt the cloud strategies they need to address these risks.

• The critical combination of visibility, prevention, detection, response, and remote remediation capabilities every endpoint security solution needs
• How FortiEDR protects your organization and remote workers against ransomware and other advanced attacks  
• Best practices for incident response preparation

Simple fact, threat actors are opportunistic and innovative e.g. launching a phishing campaign during COVID pandemic, incorporating 0-day to ransomware, insidious malware distribution in the Solarwinds hack to name a few.  

Come and learn how AI-based FortiSandbox helps uncover these new, unknown, and ransomware threats and the use of FortiAI’s Deep Learning to perform full threat investigation thus mitigate the effects of staffing shortage and close cyberskills gaps.

Organization looking to improve security posture beyond malware protection are shifting focus to responding directly to threat actors and malicious insiders by exposing them.

Industry analysts recommend deception as an effective technology to disrupt attacks early in its threat lifecycle either aimed at IT or OT networks.

Come learn why FortiDeceptor is more than just a honeypot and how it is distinct to other deception solutions.

In 2020 alone, over $133 billion was spent on cybersecurity. And yet, far too many security teams are still struggling to keep up. Challenges include too many consoles, alert overload, a reliance on manual processes, and a shortage of cybersecurity personnel. 

FortiAnalyzer’s built-in incident response framework, including automation that spans the Security Fabric, enables organizations to adopt a SOC and accelerate SOC maturity even without dedicated people/processes in place. 

In this session, you will discover what’s new in FortiAnalyzer 7.0, including new advanced automation and incident management capabilities designed to scale up SOC operations, as well as how customers are using FortiAnalyzer in their Security Operations. 
 

Security Operations teams face an ongoing challenge of balancing their need to adapt to the evolving threat landscape and addressing existing operational complexities. Countering the sophistication of today’s attackers has required organizations to deploy a multitude of technologies. However, this approach often leads to a complex multivendor infrastructure that lacks seamless coordination or integration. The result is a fragmented threat response due to countless lengthy manual workflows, decentralized processes, and the inability to truly streamline team collaboration efforts – creating further friction for organizations already battling alert volume and cybersecurity talent shortages. And these slowed response times and operational difficulties ultimately impact security operations center (SOC) teams and reduce mean-time-to-respond. 

FortiSOAR enables enterprises at higher stages of maturity to harmonize team collaboration, visibility, and SOC automation for improved security efficiency. SOC teams are not only able to streamline and accelerate their incident response processes, but also reduce their mean-time-to-respond, thereby reducing the impact of a security incident. 

Join us to learn how customers utilize FortiSOAR to remedy the complexities in many mature SOC environments, discover what’s new in FortiSOAR 7.0, and see how you can ensure rapid response while optimizing your security operations. 
 

Waiting for detectable threats to become detected incidents before launching an appropriate response is a losing proposition. Fortinet provides the analytical tools and techniques needed to uncover even the most sophisticated threats early in the attack chain, dramatically reducing their dwell time they are given – even within today’s complex environments.

According to Gartner, 80% of organization currently have or plan to actively consolidate their security vendors. Extended Detection and Response (XDR) is an emerging technology concept in which individual security products can work together as a seamless whole...and one that is a perfect principle for such consolidation. 

On January 26, 2021 Fortinet announced FortiXDR, a cloud-native extension to the Security Fabric that adds out of the box analytics, AI-powered investigation and automatable response to ease the burden on security teams and at the same time improve security posture. 

In this session, you will learn how early customers are reducing alert volume by 75% or more, conducting expert investigation in 30 seconds or less and stopping harmful cyberattacks like ransomware in real-time...all without major additions to their security teams, tools or processes. 
 

Increasingly complex and fragmented infrastructures continue to enable the rise in cyber threats and network outages. Too many point products deployed by most enterprises operate in isolated silos, with individual consoles and narrow automation frameworks that are only relevant for that one solution. Subsequently, network operations (NetOps) and Security Operations (SecOps) teams rarely have clear and consistent insight into their policies and configurations, or visibility across their own infrastructure. 

A unified console with network-security automation and orchestration capabilities can easily eliminate the complexity challenge for NetOps/SecOps teams. The Fortinet Fabric NOC/SOC solution helps address this challenge, enabling Operations to be proactive rather than reactive through the unified management and analytics that are part of the Fortinet Security Fabric.  

In this session, attendees will learn how customers and partners are leveraging FortiManager/FortiAnalyzer today, what’s new in FortiManager 7.0/FortiAnalyzer 7.0, and how we help with an Integrated NOC/SOC. In particular, you will learn about our innovations around (1) Security Fabric Automation across NGFW, SD-WAN, SD-Branch, and others, (2) SOC Automation to simplify the security operations of low-to-medium maturity companies, and (3) NOC/SOC Add-On Services that are OPEX-based to help augment an organization's or an MSSP's operating center. 
 

As enterprise and service providers attempt to monitor these various aspects—in and outside of their network—it becomes increasingly difficult to consolidate the products they use. Traditionally, monitoring products are segmented by a particular element of insight, such as security or network traffic. This results in fragmented monitoring efforts, repetitive manual workflows, decentralized operations and lack of streamlined team collaboration—all key factors that limit overall IT practitioner’s visibility internal and external to the network. 

In this session, learn about Fortinet’s new Network Performance Monitoring (NPMD) and Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) solution, FortiMonitor. Discover how it can be leveraged for monitoring the full end-to-end user experience, unifying operations, deep analysis in both network health metrics and application performance. Empowering organizations to Identify potential issues that impact users, before they even happen.  

Complexity of Operations is a key challenge for SMB customers and MSP/MSSP partners. When coupled with the focus on reducing total cost of ownership (TCO), this complexity makes it very daunting for organizations—from small businesses to distributed enterpriseS—to provision, manage, and operate their network infrastructure. To address this critical challenge, Fortinet’s SaaS-Based Cloud Portal delivers network and security services to simplifu operations for our customers and partners.

In this session, you will learn about FortiCloud and how it can be leveraged to easily simplify branch operations. We will also review what’s new in FortiGate Cloud—a core SaaS service of the FortiCloud portal.
