Challenges
Hybrid Work
Hybrid work expands the attack surface and increases endpoint risks.
Advanced Threats
Sophisticated actors cause faster breakouts, complicating threat detection.
Operational Complexity
Disjointed tools with siloed visibility and skill shortages increase operational complexity.
Use Cases
AI-Powered Threat Protection
- Solution: Fortinet FortiGate NGFW, integrated with CrowdStrike Falcon Insight XDR endpoint protection, delivers end-to-end, AI-powered threat defense. FortiGate NGFW, with FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services, ensures best-in-class networking protection with high performance and minimal latency. Falcon Insight XDR provides top-tier and complete endpoint protection by continuously monitoring all endpoint activity and analyzing the data in real time to automatically identify threat activity. Together, they offer deep insights into network traffic, user behavior, and endpoint security posture. This unified approach enhances visibility and delivers robust protection across networks and endpoints.
- Outcome: Improve threat protection
Adaptive Risk-Based Zero-Trust Access
- Solution: By integrating Falcon Insight XDR endpoint protection with the FortiClient ZTNA agent and FortiGate ZTNA access policies, SOCs are enabled with adaptive, risk-based access controls. This minimizes lateral movement of malware and enhances secure access to corporate applications, regardless of the user’s location.
- Outcome: Strengthened security posture with dynamic, risk-based access, improved security for remote access, and reduced risk of malware propagation.
Unified Visibility with Accelerated Threat Detection and Response
- Solution: Integrating CrowdStrike Falcon endpoint telemetry with Fortinet FortiGate network telemetry delivers unified visibility across the entire security landscape, accelerating threat detection and response with EDR, NDR, deceptor, SOAR, and other SOC tools. This integration and the broader best-in-class Fortinet and CrowdStrike Falcon platforms, enables automated, proactive threat detection and response.
- Outcome: Faster, more accurate threat detection with comprehensive visibility.
