Gartner Peer Insights for Enterprise Firewalls: See What Financial Services Leaders Are Saying About Fortinet

by Trish Borrmann  |  Aug 25, 2017  |  Filed in: Industry Trends

 

The financial services sector has unique security needs. Financial services firms are considered critical infrastructure by many governments, and therefore are bound by strict government cybersecurity regulations. They house highly personal information of their clients that has to be accurate and accessible at all times, as well as secure from new, sophisticated cyberattacks.

Ensuring data security, accuracy, and compliance was simpler when there was a defined network that could only be directly accessed by bank employees. However, consumers now expect to be able to access and edit their information in real-time using a variety of devices. Even though an increased number of endpoints that all have access to the network complicates security, this trend is a critical user demand that keeps banks competitive.

Fortinet has strived to create an in-depth network security solution for the financial sector that provides comprehensive network security that meets compliance requirements, while allowing users to enjoy the functionality they need.

We are pleased to share that the user reviews posted on Gartner Peer Insights by Fortinet Enterprise Firewall, sandbox, and Unified Threat Management customers in finance prove that we have overwhelmingly succeeded in this task.

Gartner Peer Insights provides verified and unbiased software ratings and reviews from enterprise IT professionals, enabling their IT peers to make better-informed decisions about the technology their organizations require.

FortiGate Moves to the Leader’s Quadrant

FortiGate Moves to the Leader’s Quadrant

by John Maddison  |  Jul 11, 2017  |  Filed in: Industry Trends

 

Fortinet’s FortiGate solution has just shifted into the leader’s quadrant in the 2017 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Network Firewalls report. This report acknowledges the ‘completeness’ of our Security Fabric vision, along with our ability to execute, as factors for our advanced placement.

We believe the Magic Quadrant results provide a great opportunity to highlight key innovations that are driving our vision for the future of enterprise firewalls. FortiGate is the most patented security solution in the world. Its advanced security technologies are central to achieving the Security Fabric’s goal of driving visibility and control deep into the network. It is developed around a universal security operating system, leverages highly optimized software and custom security processors, and receives minute-by-minute global and local threat intelligence updates. The combination of these innovations enable Fortinet to deliver an enterprise firewall that effortlessly scales across the infrastructure to secure data wherever it is located.

Since our founding, we have been challenging the traditional concepts of network security promoted by most other vendors. Rather than simply developing isolated security tools, our driving goal has been to also build highly integrated and adaptive security solutions designed to interoperate in order to extend and expand critical visibility and control across the enterprise. This approach allows organizations to correlate threat intelligence and response as well as centralize management and policy orchestration. As a result, today’s enterprises are able to better meet the demands of the new digital economy by protecting themselves at the speed of business, anywhere across their extended ecosystem of networks. 

By weaving our market-leading FortiGate enterprise firewall technology together with other Fortinet and third-party security and management solutions, we are able to deliver a broad, powerful, and automated Security Fabric approach that can better meet the demands of today’s digital business than any single, isolated device or platform. This integrated approach allows today's enterprises to change the way they implement security, from the endpoint to the cloud, so they can quickly and securely adapt to changing customer and market demands.

We are proud of our placement in the leader’s quadrant in the 2017 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Network Firewalls report. FortiGate has also been recognized by numerous third party tests, certifications, and hundreds of thousands of organizations  as a leading, world-class security solution with the single largest deployment in the world. And as part of the Fortinet Security Fabric architecture, it is the first solution ready to defend today’s advanced network environments.

Supporting Quotes
Mobility, the cloud and IoT has raised the complexity of security to new heights. The number of advanced and targeted threats has rendered traditional approaches to security ineffective as most point products can no longer keep up. The 2015 ZK Research Security Survey revealed that 43% of respondents admit to turning features off in security appliances to improve performance. A unified security fabric that can provide the necessary layers of security without additional complexity or slowing down the network has become vital. It's critical that security professionals look at how security appliances are being built. A study by ZK Research conducted earlier this year found that ASIC based products consistently have an 18 to 24 month lead on price/performance over ones built on off the shelf silicon.
