Acquisition Expands Fortinet Security Fabric With Advanced Analytics and Security Intelligence Across Physical, IoT, Cloud and Multi-Vendor Networks
SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/07/16 -- Ken Xie, founder, chairman of the board and chief executive officer, Fortinet "Sixty-percent of all security breaches result in stolen data starting within minutes of the breach and go undetected due to ineffective threat monitoring and security event correlation. In addition, the lack of a holistic view across organizations' entire distributed, multi-vendor networks and the growing quantity and complexity of threat information create big-data security challenges. With the acquisition of AccelOps, Fortinet extends its Security Fabric to address these challenges by combining security and compliance monitoring with advanced analytics for multi-vendor security solutions, enabling automated and actionable security intelligence from IoT to the cloud." News Summary (NASDAQ: FTNT), the global leader in high-performance cyber security solutions, today announced its acquisition of AccelOps, a leading provider of network security monitoring and analytics solutions. The acquisition further extends Fortinet's recently announced strategy by enhancing network security visibility, security data analytics and threat intelligence across multi-vendor solutions.
Partha Bhattacharya, founder and chief technology officer, AccelOps "Fortinet and AccelOps share a common vision of providing holistic, actionable security intelligence across the entire IT infrastructure. Our mission has always been to help our customers make security and compliance management as effortless and effective as possible. The synergies between AccelOps's solutions and Fortinet's Security Fabric vision and thought leadership will ensure that our customers are protected with the most scalable and proven global threat intelligence, security and performance analytics and compliance and control across all types of network environments with multiple security and networking vendor products."
