Security Fabric
The Fortinet Security Fabric provides a visionary approach to security that allows your organization to deliver intelligent, powerful, and seamless security. Fortinet offers security solutions for endpoints, access points, network elements, the data center, applications, cloud, and data, designed to work together as an integrated security fabric that can be integrated, analyzed, and managed to provide end-to-end protection for your network. Your organization can also add third-party products that are members of the Fortinet Fabric-Ready Partner Program to the Security Fabric.
All elements in the Security Fabric work together as a team to share policy, threat intelligence, and application flow information. This collaborative approach expands network visibility and provides fast threat detection in real time and the ability to initiate and synchronize a coordinated response, no matter which part of the network is being compromised. The Security Fabric allows your network to automatically see and dynamically isolate affected devices, partition network segments, update rules, push out new policies, and remove malware.
The Security Fabric is designed to cover the entire attack surface and provide you with complete visibility into your network. It allows you to collect, share, and correlate threat intelligence between security and network devices, centrally manage and orchestrate policies, automatically synchronize resources to enforce policies, and coordinate a response to threats detected anywhere across the extended network. The unified management interface provides you with cooperative security alerts, recommendations, audit reports, and full policy control across the Security Fabric that will give you confidence that your network is secure.
