News Summary Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT), a global leader in broad, automated, and integrated cybersecurity solutions, today announced that it has collaborated with IBM on the new IBM X-Force Threat Management Services.

Enabling Security Transformation for Digital Business Today The demands of the digital economy affect every aspect of business. Organizations retooling their networks to compete in this evolving marketplace must undergo a simultaneous security transformation that can protect them from the cybersecurity threats emerging daily designed to target the expanding attack surface. Any effective security transformation strategy requires collaborative system integration between traditionally isolated security tools. This includes the automated sharing of real-time threat intelligence, the centralized orchestration of security policies, consistent and coordinated policy enforcement, and intelligent data and device segmentation across physical and virtual environments for deep visibility into the traffic moving laterally across the network, including across multi-cloud environments. Such an integrated strategy allows organizations to dynamically correlate threat information and automatically coordinate a real-time response to threats found anywhere along the extended attack surface. Combined with IBMs vulnerability assessments, security information and event management (SIEM) platform management, behavioural analytics, and hands-on IBM X-Force incident and response services, Fortinet and IBM customers can now quickly develop and deploy a holistic security strategy designed around technologies and services in order to seamlessly span and protect even the most complex ecosystem of digital networks. |
