Fortinet Now Part of IBM Security’s New X-Force Threat Management Services
April 17 2018 - 9:00AM
Extends Collaboration with Integrated and
Automated Security Operations
RSA Conference 2018 News Summary
Fortinet (NASDAQ:FTNT), a global leader in broad, automated, and
integrated cybersecurity solutions, today announced that it has
collaborated with IBM on the new IBM X-Force Threat Management
Services. Working with IBM Security on X-Force Threat Management
Services enables both organizations to further provide mutual
customers with unprecedented threat insight, attack detection and
prevention, and an integrated defense-in-depth strategy designed to
seamlessly span across an organization’s entire attack
surface.
- IBM X-Force Threat Management Services was developed around the
key tenets of the National Institute of Science and Technology
(NIST) Cybersecurity Framework creating an integrated and
programmatic approach across the entire threat management
lifecycle.
- IBM Security has been a Fortinet Fabric-Ready partner since
2017. This latest partnership combines Fortinet’s comprehensive
security protections with IBM’s world-class security expertise to
provide enhanced value to customers through the delivery of
advanced protection and support against today’s sophisticated
cyberthreats, across on-premise and multi-cloud environments.
- Leveraging the Fortinet Security Fabric provides mutual
customers with the broad visibility, integrated threat
intelligence, and automated response required for today’s digital
businesses. In addition, the Security Fabric’s integrated threat
intelligence services assist businesses with determining where to
best prioritize resources based on threats seen across the entirety
of an organization.
- Because many of the IBM X-Force Threat Management Services
partners are also members of Fortinet’s Fabric-Ready technology
ecosystem, customers are able to deploy a fully integrated solution
that delivers unmatched expertise, real-time intelligence, and
powerful security tools and services.
Enabling Security Transformation for Digital Business
Today
The demands of the digital economy affect every aspect of
business. Organizations retooling their networks to compete in this
evolving marketplace must undergo a simultaneous security
transformation that can protect them from the cybersecurity threats
emerging daily designed to target the expanding attack surface.
Any effective security transformation strategy requires
collaborative system integration between traditionally isolated
security tools. This includes the automated sharing of real-time
threat intelligence, the centralized orchestration of security
policies, consistent and coordinated policy enforcement, and
intelligent data and device segmentation across physical and
virtual environments for deep visibility into the traffic moving
laterally across the network, including across multi-cloud
environments.
Such an integrated strategy allows organizations to dynamically
correlate threat information and automatically coordinate a
real-time response to threats found anywhere along the extended
attack surface. Combined with IBM’s vulnerability assessments,
security information and event management (SIEM) platform
management, behavioural analytics, and hands-on IBM X-Force
incident and response services, Fortinet and IBM customers can now
quickly develop and deploy a holistic security strategy designed
around technologies and services in order to seamlessly span and
protect even the most complex ecosystem of digital networks.
