Ken Xie, founder, chairman of the board and CEO at
Fortinet “Cybersecurity is a very dynamic space. Customer
requirements keep evolving, the attack surface is growing as mobile
devices, cloud computing and IoT is used in corporate networks, and
the threat landscape is getting more sophisticated and automated.
Just over a year ago, we launched our Fortinet Security Fabric
technology vision to deliver an architectural approach to security
that is specifically designed to see and respond to threats in real
time, automatically adapt to distributed networks and provide the
performance needed to keep up with growing data and user demands.
We believe that Gartner’s recognition of Fortinet as a leader in
its Enterprise Firewall Magic Quadrant is a testament to the
successful execution and market adoption of our Security Fabric
vision.”
News Summary Fortinet® (NASDAQ:FTNT), the
global leader in high-performance cybersecurity solutions, today
announced it has been recognized as a Leader in the 2017 Gartner
Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Network Firewalls1. The report
evaluated Fortinet’s Security Fabric, its ‘completeness of vision’
and ‘ability to execute’ as factors for the placement in the Magic
Quadrant. As a foundation of the Fortinet Security Fabric, the
FortiGate Enterprise Firewall is the only solution that delivers
the scale, automation, and performance needed to protect from the
edge to the datacenter and from IoT to the Cloud.
More than 310,000 customers trust Fortinet solutions to deliver
the broadest, most powerful and highly automated security to defend
their entire attack surfaces. FortiGate Enterprise Firewall
customers have enthusiastically provided 288 perfect 5-star reviews
and 498 total reviews on Gartner Peer Insights – compared with the
418 reviews for the next ten enterprise firewall vendors combined
as of July 12th.2
Independent evaluation and market analysis conducted by firms
like Gartner are critical to help businesses determine the best
vendors to protect their critical data and assets against an
increasingly hostile threat landscape.
Executing on Fortinet’s VisionSince its
founding, Fortinet has challenged the traditional concepts of
network security with a focus on engineering innovative
cybersecurity solutions with the breadth to cover an organization’s
entire attack surface, the performance needed to handle the massive
amounts of data traversing enterprise networks and the automation
required to rapidly respond to threats. One year ago, Fortinet
forever changed the way enterprises look at cybersecurity with its
Security Fabric vision to deliver a holistic and adaptive
architecture capable of defending the entire infrastructure, so
they can best compete in the rapidly evolving digital economy.
Fortinet’s FortiGate enterprise firewalls are central to the
Fortinet Security Fabric – engineered to unify and automate
multi-layered response to threats in addition to delivering
superior Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) capabilities.
In order to deliver a truly integrated Security Fabric, Fortinet
developed its universal security operating system, invested in the
development of sophisticated security processors, provided Security
Fabric APIs to integrate third-party security solutions and built
the largest and most mature threat intelligence infrastructure on
the planet. The combination of these innovations enables Fortinet
to deliver an integrated security ecosystem that ties together
security at the perimeter, in the data center, on the campus, in
the cloud, across internal segments, at branch offices, and
spanning IoT and end user devices.
