What are Hybrid Mesh Firewalls?
Hybrid Mesh Firewalls, such as Fortinet's FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs), are designed to provide integrated and automated protection for enterprise networks that are increasingly complex due to the adoption of cloud environments, remote work, and IoT devices. They simplify security management by consolidating multiple security functions and enabling real-time threat intelligence sharing across the network.
How do FortiGate NGFWs enhance security?
FortiGate NGFWs enhance security by offering high-performance threat protection, continuous risk assessment, and the ability to inspect encrypted traffic. They leverage automated, policy-based responses to security events and integrate with the Fortinet Security Fabric, allowing for coordinated security measures across the entire IT infrastructure. This helps organizations maintain visibility and control over their expanding attack surfaces.
What challenges do enterprises face in network security?
Enterprises face significant challenges in network security due to the expanded attack surfaces created by remote work, cloud services, and a growing number of endpoint devices. A recent report indicated a 19% increase in the number of security tools organizations must manage, leading to complexity and a less effective security posture. Many security leaders have reported being caught off guard by security events that bypassed existing controls, highlighting the need for more integrated and comprehensive security solutions.
