Working Together to Solve Today’s IT Security
ChallengesEnterprises today are adopting new technologies
and cutting-edge infrastructure strategies to enable continued
growth in today’s competitive digital economy. Most of these
organizations have deployed networking and security solutions from
multiple vendors, which can pose significant challenges for IT
teams to integrate and efficiently operate multi-vendor solutions
across heterogeneous environments.
The Fortinet Security Fabric enables customers to maximize their
existing technology investments through the Fabric-Ready Partner

leverage Fortinet’s well-defined APIs (Application Programming
Interfaces) for deep integration with the Fortinet Security Fabric.
This integration further extends Security Fabric capabilities
across cloud, virtualized and software-defined environments and
ensures seamless interoperation with partner solutions and
services.
As part of the program, partners undergo solution validation
with a commitment to ongoing interoperability. Additionally,
Fabric-Ready partners will benefit from joint marketing and
go-to-market initiatives with Fortinet. The following new
technology partners have joined the Fabric-Ready Program across its
various API integration points:
- Cloud: Microsoft Azure and Ribbon Communications.
- Endpoint, IoT (Threat Detection & Response): SentinelOne
and ForeScout Technologies.
- Management: Bradford Networks, Cyber Observer, CSPi and
FireMon.
- Virtualization, SDN, NFV: ADVA Optical Networking, Intel

Fabric-Ready Partners Comment on the Security Fabric
Ecosystem
“Communication service providers are driving toward network
virtualization and the enablement of cloud-based services for their
customers. However, with this transformation comes the need to
increase focus on the security implications of these highly
distributed environments. As an enablement platform for
virtualization, ADVA leverages an ecosystem of partners to deliver
industry-leading, best of breed solutions to our customers. This is
why we are excited about becoming a Fabric-Ready Partner. With the
integration of Fortinet’s advanced Security Fabric capabilities and
ADVA’s dynamic network virtualization platform, we are now able to
address the critical security requirements for our joint customers
as they evolve their networks to become more cloud-native.”
- Michael Heffner, vice president of PLM, Ensemble at
ADVA Optical Networking
“In an age where IoT and BYOD devices open the network to
ever-increasing threats, becoming a Fabric-Ready Partner helps us
provide customers with an integrated solution to manage unsecured
devices and mitigate risks. Enhancing this partnership enables
deeper integration between our two products, as well as simplifying
management and growth, even as both solutions continuously evolve
to counter security threats. This tight integration also increases
the fidelity of alerts, improves the accuracy of event triage and
enables our customers to build a stronger security posture, so they
can face today’s security challenges with confidence.”
- Frank Andrus, chief technology officer at Bradford
Networks
“Unfortunately, cyber breaches are on the rise and becoming more
sophisticated every day, it’s not if – it’s when. CSPi's nVoy
products are integrated with the Fortinet Security Fabric to
provide an automated breach detection solution that not only tells
you when you have been breached, but identifies the actual critical
information that has been exposed. As a Fabric-Ready Partner, our
joint customers can not only get ahead of breaches, but also
obtain all the forensic detailed records necessary to meet the
tightening notification requirements from data privacy regulations
such as GDPR as well as those of 49 US states.”
- Gary Southwell, general manager at CSPi
"VNF on boarding is a big challenge for the industry. Cloudify
took a path informed by engagement with ETSI/NFV, OASIS TOSCA and
the ONAP project. Our goal was to show that VNF deployment can
happen on existing infrastructure in a fraction of the time and
risk. A big advantage Fortinet has—in addition to platform
flexibility and superior support—is its wide selection of supported
public and private cloud platforms. So does Cloudify, and together
we can address a wide array of multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud
scenarios—and going forward, edge-compute—on both brownfield and
greenfield deployments."
- Amir Levy, director of technical market development in
the CTO office at Cloudify
“As CISOs and senior infosec managers deal with the
ever-increasing complexity of their cybersecurity programs, we're
excited to partner with Fortinet to deliver comprehensive awareness
and insights in a single pane of glass, ensuring that threats are
not only being dealt with at the operational level, but that
posture, maturity, and resiliency can be understood, managed, and
advanced at the executive level. Partnering with Fortinet, we
can provide out-of-the-box configuration and ensure that Cyber
Observer is delivering its promise to our mutual clients of
deploying within hours and providing real insights
immediately.”
- Itzik Weinstein, chief executive officer of Cyber
Observer
“The digital transformation is driving the adoption of new
technologies that support and sustain continued growth. With this
growth comes additional network complexity as well as a far larger
attack surface, and it’s up to IT leaders to overcome these
challenges and ensure that their networks are secure and compliant,
without impeding business productivity. FireMon is very
pleased to join Fortinet’s Fabric-Ready Partner Program. Working
together with Fortinet, we can help make our joint customers more
secure, more agile, more efficient, and more compliant, all the
time.”
- Tim Woods, vice president, technology alliances at
FireMon
“The rise of IoT, growth of the mobile workforce and adoption of
the cloud are dramatically increasing the demands on enterprises as
they transition to best compete in the digital economy. Working
together with Fortinet as part of its Fabric-Ready Partner Program,
we can help make our joint customers more secure, agile, and
compliant as they adopt new technologies that support and sustain
continued growth without impeding business productivity.”
- Pedro Abreu, senior vice president and chief strategy
officer, ForeScout Technologies
“The digital transformation is driving the adoption of new
technologies that support and sustain continued growth. Yet with
this growth comes additional network complexity as well as a far
larger attack surface, and it’s up to IT leaders to overcome these
challenges and ensure that their networks are secure and compliant,
without impeding business productivity. We are very pleased to be a
member of Fortinet’s Fabric-Ready Partner Program. Working together
with Fortinet, we can help make our joint customers more secure,
more agile, and more compliant.”
- Kevin Riley, chief technology officer at Ribbon
Communications

Partner Program: Together, we combine the most visionary
next-generation endpoint protection platform with Fortinet's
full-stack of security solutions, allowing customers to see more
and protect more - inside and outside their networks - in an
automated fashion. Next-generation endpoint and firewall,
together, are the foundation of a secure digital
transformation. We look forward to taking our integrated
solutions to market globally.”
