Fortinet to Highlight its Solutions to Combat Sophisticated Threats at Gitex 2014

Advanced Threat Protection Framework and DDoS Mitigation Solutions in focus

Dubai, UAE, September 24, 2014 - Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT) - a leader in high-performance network security - will showcase its latest Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) framework and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attack Mitigation Appliances at GITEX Technology Week 2014.

"Threats are evolving rapidly; the traditional security systems that are still implemented across the region are proving ineffective against today’s sophisticated threats. Look at the volume of data breach incidents that have been reported in 2013 and 2014 to see that there is a real risk for organisations in the region which are not immune," says Alain Penel, Regional Vice President - Middle East, Fortinet.

Fortinet offers a wide range of next generation security solutions based on the new FortiOS 5.2and FortiDDoS Attack Mitigation Appliances. FortiDDoS is 100% based on behaviour-based detection and ASIC DDoS processors, which enables the appliance to detect every DDoS threat, including sophisticated low-volume application layer attacks.

"Our participation at GITEX Technology Week will enable us to showcase our latest ATP and DDoS solutions to a wider audience and demonstrate our efforts to help CIOs make decisions. With the growing volume of threats it's imperative that organisations across the region take the necessary measures to protect themselves," Penel says.

Fortinet will be in hall 2- stand B2 – 1A. during Gitex Technology Week, which runs from October 12 to October 16 at the Dubai World Trade Center.
