A Strategic Approach Against an Increasingly Sophisticated Threat

The firewall wars have caused nothing but confusion in the market. Lines have been drawn between UTM and NGFW; are they different or are they the same thing? Unfortunately that confusion has led to introducing complexity and vulnerability in enterprise networks. There is a better way. Rather than fighting through a sea of acronyms, focus on what’s really important - How can I simplify my security infrastructure and improve my ability to fight off advanced attacks, no matter where they occur in the network?

This session will present a new way of thinking about firewalls, one without the confusion, acronyms and complexity.

During the past 15 years, access layer solutions have evolved, especially in terms wireless connectivity.

Today's wireless connectivity has multiple approaches, each better meeting the specific requirements of organisations through a choice of different architectures. Whether its a refresh, redeployment, change of application or a brand new site, there are a lot of options.

During this webinar we’ll examine different approaches and how to apply them to different verticals or deployment scenarios. As wireless connectivity continues to evolve, we will also look to the future and see how trends in new hardware can provide cutting edge solutions to meet the potential needs of tomorrow's organisations.

The presentation will end with an overview of Fortinet's Secure Access Architecture and how it can meet today's and tomorrow's wireless requirements.

More and more solutions are crowding into the market but data breaches are still happening and there’s no end in sight. Is an over reliance of technology creating a false sense of “everything’s okay”? This session will focus on the three key aspects of comprehensive advanced threat protection; technology, awareness and in particular the role of threat intelligence.

Ransomware is an ever-increasing threat to enterprises and new strains are being seen on a regular basis. This presentation starts by tracing the history of ransomware from its roots as being not much more than an annoyance, to the current highly sophisticated encrypting varieties.

Following this will be a deep dive into how the malware is delivered to the victim, and an analysis of the different stages of an attack.
Finally, we will look at methods of mitigating the attack in order to minimise or eliminate the damage done.

The Data Center is not an island. It is part of a complex ecosystem, working and evolving together for the overall benefit of the enterprise.

Data Center security can no longer be treated as an island. It must integrate and interact with the overall enterprise ecosystem and security infrastructure to provide a real-time, effective security posture.

This webinar will present a high level view as to the importance of deploying an integrated, end-to-end enterprise security platform for achieving data center security.

Because sometimes, the best data center security solution has nothing to do with the data center!

The headlines are full of claims by security companies having the key to solving the problem of Advanced Persistent Threats (APT).

However, on closer inspection it seems that while the technology that they’re touting is interesting, it’s only a partial solution because it only addresses part of the problem.

In today’s changing threat horizon, attacks can come from anywhere, at anytime and in any form. An effective Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) capability must be able operate in the same manner - everywhere in the network, with any technology and fully collaborative.

This webinar will present and focus on the following:
1.The range of technologies needed
2.How to close off exploitable gaps with common threat intelligence
3.Technology is only part of the final solution

This webinar reviews some of the headline attacks and threat events of 2015, then asks what can be learned from them. After looking at some of the trends and directions that today's attacks are taking, it looks at key challenges facing the enterprise, and how they can be addressed by leveraging the latest developments in security technologies, combined with constantly updated threat intelligence.

Wireless is now the expected medium of choice for network users. Delivering it successfully can be a challenge especially with multiple different approaches and architectures available. What is right for your organisation? Cloud? Controller? How is it all secured?

This session will discuss 3 main Wi-Fi architecture types, their different advantages, the wired edge, and how to secure it all. Importantly, we will finish with what to consider when making the right choice for your needs.

As organisations embrace the latest IT technology, such as Mobility and Cloud, the traditional network boundaries are becoming increasingly complex to control and secure. There are now many different ways into an enterprise network.

Organisations have focused on building defences across the borders of their networks, leaving the internal network flat and open. However, advanced threats use this to their advantage because, once inside, they get free access to the entire enterprise network and assets.

In this webinar we will present:
1.The state of enterprise security
2.Hard on the outside and chewy on the inside – internal network risks
3.Internal Segmentation Firewall to the rescue – protecting the network from the inside-out

With the growing adaptation of Software-Defined technologies as the foundation for enterprises’ data centers, private & hybrid clouds and overall IT agility, security infrastructure transformation must take place to efficiently integrate with the Software-Defined ecosystem and become software defined itself. This presentation will highlight the need for Software Defined Security (SD-Security) and Fortinet’s framework to deliver optimized security for the Software Defined IT.

This session will look into the factors why major data breaches continue to be a recurring theme, in spite of the wealth of information over the past two years that should be helping enterprises to avoid being the next victim.

No one is trying to reinvent the wheel here, but lets call a spade a spade. The level of threats are increasing, they are advanced, they are persistent and they are costly, so its no surprise traditional firewalls that focus on borders are just not working like they used to. The truth is the internal network is no longer a “trusted” environment, whether a malicious outsider, evil insider or unknowing participant, once inside, threats can spread and do maximum damage. Internal firewalls, while not a new concept, are finally taking hold and the results are a game changer for network protection.

Fortinet is proud to present, Why Your Firewall Strategy Isn’t Working, Let’s Talk About Internal Network Firewalls, a deep dive into why INFW is the new “must have” in the ever shifting threat landscape.

- Discover how multiple layers of defense are the new standard for highly-sophisticated attacks that are getting past border defenses.
- Learn how INFW is different as a compliment to existing Firewalls and various deployment scenarios
- Understand how a single device can work efficiently in multiple segments

Don’t Miss, Why Your Firewall Strategy Isn’t Working, Let’s Talk About Internal Network Firewalls, and learn how an Internal Network Firewall can provide the necessary inside-out network protection you need to protect your critical data against advanced threats.

Enterprise data centers are evolving to deliver higher performance and agility, driven by rapid adoption of mobility/BYOD, big data, cloud and SaaS. At the same time, data center security needs to guard against ever more sophisticated attacks, while keeping up with rapidly increasing bandwidth requirements.

In this session Jose Grandmougin, Fortinet Director of System Engineering, will focus on the absolute need for high performance, hardware based firewalls in today’s data center and why yesterday’s data center firewalls cannot meet today’s challenges.

Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) relies on multiple types of security technologies, products, and research - each performing a different role, but still working seamlessly together - to combat these attacks from network core through the end user device.

In this live webinar, Alain Forcioli, Fortinet Consulting Systems Engineer, will discuss how Antivirus inspection and Sandboxing, when deployed into your network, can achieve an effective detection solution, protecting both against known and unknown threats.

Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) has taken on a life of its own over the past year. Despite some differences, most solutions tend to agree on the type of protection needed for the core network. Where things start to come apart is when you introduce the end user into the equation and how to protect the network from an internal error, deliberate maliciousness or even criminal intent. End point protection, in all of its various forms, must be a key component of any ATP solution and integrated into the process of Prevent, Detect and Mitigate.

This session will focus on the overall issue and how the Fortinet ATP solution addresses this matter.

Data center security is being reshaped by virtualisation, consolidation, and promising new technologies such as Software Defined Networking (SDN).
The adoption of the SDDC brings new challenges such as inspecting East-West traffic without the need to compromise on all the benefits of today's physical appliances.
