What are Hybrid Mesh Firewalls?
Hybrid Mesh Firewalls, like Fortinet's FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs), are designed to provide integrated and automated security across diverse network environments. They help protect against emerging threats by simplifying security complexity and offering visibility into applications, users, and networks. This is particularly important as enterprise networks expand due to the adoption of cloud environments, remote work, and IoT devices.
How do FortiGate NGFWs enhance security?
FortiGate NGFWs enhance security by providing high-performance threat protection and continuous risk assessment. They utilize purpose-built security processing units and threat intelligence from FortiGuard Labs to detect and prevent both known and unknown attacks. Additionally, they enable SSL/TLS inspection to monitor encrypted traffic, ensuring comprehensive protection across all network edges.
What challenges do enterprises face with network security?
Organizations face several challenges in network security, including a lack of visibility into encrypted data and the complexity of managing multiple disconnected security tools. A recent report indicated that the number of security tools organizations must manage has increased by 19% in the past two years, leading to a less effective security posture. Many security leaders have reported being surprised by security events that bypassed existing controls, highlighting the need for more integrated security solutions.
