Fortinet Delivers on Commitment to Open Ecosystem
and Expands Actionable Threat Intelligence Across Multi-Vendor Solutions
Dubai,
UAE, October 18, 2016 – Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT), the global
leader in high-performance cybersecurity solutions, today delivers on the Open attribute of the
Fortinet Security Fabric through its new Fabric-Ready Partner Program and integration of
FortiSIEM, providing threat intelligence visibility across multi-vendor cybersecurity
solutions.
“It’s clear that isolated security devices don’t solve today’s
cybersecurity challenges, companies need something different. They want integrated
security, from IoT to the cloud, with actionable analytics across their multi-vendor
networking and security solutions, all delivered through a single pane of glass
view,” said John Maddison, senior vice
president products and solutions, Fortinet. “Fortinet’s Security Fabric has delivered on this technology vision with a
complete rethinking of security for customers to implement more strategic
approaches, such as internal segmentation or automated universal policy to stay
ahead of the threat landscape. By opening the Security Fabric to our partner
ecosystem we accelerate our customers’ transition to integrated security
strategies to address the full spectrum of challenges across the attack
lifecycle.”

The Fabric-Ready Partner Program builds
on Fortinet’s robust ecosystem
of technology alliances by opening the functionality of the Fortinet Security Fabric to
complementary solutions. Partners in this program have validated technology
integration with the Security Fabric, have committed to sharing roadmaps for
consistent interoperability, and will benefit from joint go-to-market
initiatives.

Operations Center to provide complete visibility and actionable intelligence
across the entire infrastructure.
·
Extending the functionality and intelligence
of the Fortinet Security Fabric with an open and cooperative ecosystem of
partner and vendor solutions, helps customers avoid the rip and replace of
existing infrastructure and consolidate, simplify and integrate their security
posture.

The open Security Fabric behaves as a single entity, offering the
performance, visibility and automation required for intelligent end-to-end
segmentation, from IoT to the cloud, and across physical and virtual
environments.
Fortinet Extends Open,
Integrated Ecosystem of Security Solutions
The Fortinet Fabric-Ready Partner Program
demonstrates Fortinet’s commitment to an open, integrated Security Fabric,
allowing enterprises the flexibility to deploy Fortinet solutions alongside
their existing or new security technologies for truly integrated protection.
The program brings together leading network security solutions to deliver pre-integrated,
end-to-end offerings ready for deployment, reducing technical support burden
and costs for enterprise customers.
Most organizations have deployed security devices from multiple vendors
inside their networks. A Security Fabric lets customers maximize these existing
investments with integration
that goes beyond simply allowing third-party solutions to collect or redirect
data and traffic. Partner solutions that integrate with
the Fortinet Security Fabric are able to actively collect and share threat
information and mitigation instructions in order to improve intelligence,
enhance overall awareness, and broaden threat response from end-to-end.
Fortinet has developed a series of
well-defined, open APIs (Application
Programming Interfaces) that allow technology partners to become
part of the Fortinet Security Fabric at a number of critical integration
points, including at the hypervisor, the SDN orchestration controller, in the
cloud, in the sandbox to detect zero-day threats, and through logging and
policy management.
As
part of the program, partners have undergone solution validation with an ongoing commitment to continued interoperability and
roadmap reviews. Additionally, Fabric-Ready partners will benefit from joint marketing and
go-to-market initiatives with Fortinet. The following new technology partners
have joined the Fabric-Ready Program across its various API integration points:
·
Cloud: Palerra, Verisign
·
Endpoint
& IoT: Carbon
Black, Nozomi Networks, Pulse Secure, Ziften
·
Management: Centrify, Tufin
·
SDN orchestration: UBIqube
·
Virtualization: Brocade
