CASE STUDY the majority of cyberthreats using encryption , FortiGate NGFWs use purpose-built security processors ( SPUs ) to minimise the performance impact of SSL / TLS traffic inspection . Integration of high-performance encrypted traffic inspection into an organisation ’ s NGFW also enables the business to avoid the overhead associated with acquiring and deploying standalone appliances throughout their network infrastructure .
Integrated Wi-Fi connectivity means that common centrally managed security policies are applied to both wired and wireless connections , simplifying security management and further reenforcing access security .
THE FORTINET SECURITY FABRIC SOLUTION IS HELPING US TO MEET ALL OF OUR SECURITY AND DATA PROTECTION CHALLENGES .
The addition of FortiNAC , FortiAuthenticator and FortiToken provide Jubilee Insurance with the highest possible confidence that every connected user and device has been adequately authenticated , meets current access security policy and that any new malware or suspicious activity will be immediately blocked or quarantined .
FortiToken , available both as an Initiative for Open Authentication ( OATH ) compliant one-time password ( OTP ) generator application for mobile devices and as a small physical device , provides a convenient solution for ultra-secure token provisioning using dynamically generated token seeds .
Although FortiToken can be used directly with the FortiGate ’ s integrated authentication server , Jubilee Insurance deployed the additional FortiAuthenticator user identity management appliance to further strengthen security by simplifying and centralising the management and storage of user identity information .
FortiNAC , Fortinet ’ s network access control solution , enhances the Security Fabric with greater visibility , control and automated response for everything that connects to the network .
