John Maddison, senior vice president of products and
solutions, Fortinet “As organizations aggressively adopt a
digital business model, endpoint devices and applications play an
increasingly important role in business and networking strategies.
Because these devices move freely between networked and cloud
environments through a variety of access points, endpoint security
is more critical than ever. Endpoint security solutions need to
coordinate closely with the network and other security components
to share telemetry, correlate intelligence and automate fast
responses to increasingly sophisticated threats. Fortinet is
pleased to have received another Recommended rating by NSS Labs for
our advanced endpoint protection among many other Security Fabric
components.”
News Summary Fortinet® (NASDAQ:FTNT), a global
leader in broad, integrated and automated cybersecurity solutions,
today announced its results from NSS Labs’ annual Advanced Endpoint
Protection (AEP) Group Test. In this year’s test, which included a
record 20 vendors, FortiClient demonstrated a 100% block rate on
exploits, document and script-based malware, as well as web and
offline threats, with zero false positives. FortiClient has
received NSS Labs' coveted 'Recommended' rating since this test’s
inception in 2017, this year with an overall security effectiveness
rating of 97.3%.
- FortiClient delivers an impressive combination of Security
Effectiveness and TCO per Agent as reflected in the NSS Labs
Security Value Map (SVM) for AEP solutions. NSS Labs defines AEP
agents as endpoint security technologies that combine the
protective capabilities of anti-threat products with the detection,
investigation, and prevention capabilities of endpoint security
products.
- NSS Labs' AEP report provides the industry’s most comprehensive
test results for effectiveness and TCO for security agents
protecting today’s increasingly intelligent and hyperconnected
endpoint devices.
- Several Fortinet Fabric-Ready technology alliance partners are
also among the “Recommended” vendors in this report, including
Carbon Black and SentinelOne. These solutions are among those
certified compatible with FortiClient Fabric Agent to provide
integration and intelligence sharing with the Security Fabric. The
broad Fortinet Fabric-Ready Partner Program ecosystem of
complementary technologies enables customers to maximize their
existing technology investments and get even more value from their
security deployments.
- This latest result adds to the long list of Fortinet solutions
that have received a Recommended rating from NSS Labs in the last
12 months. Fortinet remains the most independently certified
security vendor in the industry and is the only provider with NSS
Recommended ratings for network, web application, and endpoint
security, as well as for breach detection and breach
prevention.
Securing Hyperconnected Endpoints with
FortiClient The transformation of today’s networks
continues to expand the potential attack surface while eroding
traditional network perimeters. At the same time, a growing number
of endpoint devices of mixed ownership have access to enterprise
data and connect to critical organization resources.
Adversaries using new tactics are targeting end user computers and
leverage compromised endpoints to achieve their goals. According to
the Verizon Data Breach Report, over half of the breaches included
malware.
To combat advanced threats, enterprises need an integrated
endpoint and network security strategy that provides consistent
visibility, protection, and automated response across their
distributed network ecosystems. According
to NSS Labs research, 93.6% of US enterprises
consider endpoint security products to be an essential part of
their overall security strategy. While AEP solutions are primarily
deployed by large and very large enterprises (81.5%), a growing
number of small and medium-sized enterprises are also beginning to
look at AEP solutions as a critical way to shore up their expanding
network strategy.
As a robust advanced endpoint protection solution, FortiClient
effectively detects and blocks threats such as malware, ransomware,
exploits and malicious scripts. FortiClient also natively
integrates with FortiSandbox and FortiGate to further identify and
respond to unknown, advanced and targeted threats.
In addition, the FortiClient Fabric Agent is certified
compatible with 3rd party Fabric-Ready partner solutions in order
to share real time endpoint visibility, compliance and control with
the Security Fabric. Beyond exploit protection, machine learning
and other advanced detection techniques, FortiClient goes a step
further in helping organizations maintain a security baseline and
reduce their attack surface with integrated vulnerability
management.
Fortinet’s FortiClient Next-Generation Endpoint Security
solution is designed to work as a robust stand-alone endpoint
security agent, as well as an essential component of the Fortinet
Security Fabric. It integrates with FortiGate, FortiSandbox, and
FortiAnalyzer, along with a number of Fabric-Ready partner
solutions, for real time endpoint visibility, compliance and
control. Its integration with FortiSandbox also enables it to
detect unknown, advanced and targeted threats. FortiClient also
provides effective vulnerability scanning and flexible patching
options to help users and organizations maintain security hygiene
and reduce their attack surface.
