Fortinet Introduces New Specialized Cybersecurity Products and
Professional Services for Operational Technology Environments
Operational Technology Security Summit 2023
John Maddison, EVP of Products and CMO at
Fortinet“Operational technology environments are more
connected to the cloud and their supply chains than ever before,
which has created a huge opportunity for cyber attackers.
Traditional information security products are not well suited for
cyber-physical security. The Fortinet Security Fabric for OT is
specifically designed for operational technology, and we’re pleased
to introduce additional cyber-physical security capabilities to
protect these environments.”
News SummaryFortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT), the
global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking
and security, today announced new and enhanced products and
services for operational technology (OT) environments as an
expansion of the Fortinet Security Fabric for OT. Fortinet enables
organizations to build a platform of integrated solutions to
effectively mitigate cyber risk across OT and IT environments.
The State of OT SecurityAs more industrial
environments increase connectivity with external and internal
applications, devices, and corporate IT networks, the attack
surface grows exponentially, exposing critical OT assets to
increasingly advanced and destructive threats. The 2022 Fortinet
State of Operational Technology and Cybersecurity Report found that
93% of organizations had one or more security intrusions in the
past year, with 61% of intrusions affecting OT systems. Security
breaches have the potential to disrupt critical infrastructure,
resources, and services that support everything from local
communities to entire nations. Organizations must prioritize
securing their OT environments by integrating tools and practices
to help alleviate security risks that may arise from lack of
visibility and real-time response.
Securing OT Environments with the Fortinet Security
Fabric for OTHighlighting its commitment to OT security,
Fortinet has released new and enhanced products and services to
help organizations better protect their OT environments. Fortinet’s
OT solutions are natively integrated across the Fortinet Security
Fabric to seamlessly enable IT/OT convergence and connectivity.
This helps improve visibility and real-time response across the
entire attack surface and empowers security operations center (SOC)
teams to become more efficient and effective in their time to
respond across factories, plants, remote locations, and
vehicles.
New specialized products include:
- FortiGate 70F Rugged Next-Generation Firewall
(NGFW) is the latest addition to Fortinet’s rugged portfolio
designed for harsh environments and features a new compact design
with converged networking and security capabilities on a single
processor. The 70F has FortiGuard AI-powered enterprise-grade
security services and delivers complete coverage for content, web
and device security with dedicated OT and IoT services that are
natively integrated with SD-WAN, universal zero trust network
access (ZTNA), and LAN edge controllers. 5G support is also
available through an integration with FortiExtender.
- FortiDeceptor, Fortinet’s deception technology
for early breach detection and attack isolation, is now available
as an industrially hardened rugged appliance – the FortiDeceptor
Rugged 100G – for harsh industrial environments. FortiDeceptor
(both appliance and VM) also provides new OT/IoT/IT decoys to
support diverse environments. To combat emerging threats and
vulnerabilities, FortiDeceptor also now enables on-demand creation
of deception decoys based on newly discovered vulnerabilities, or
suspicious activity, providing automated, dynamic protection across
OT/IoT/IT environments.
- FortiPAM Privileged Access Management
for Secure Remote Access offers enterprise-grade
privileged access management for both IT and OT ecosystems. It
includes secure remote access to critical assets regulated and
monitored through workflow-based access approvals and session video
recording. FortiPAM also supports secure file exchange and a
password vault to manage all credentials and keep them secret. It
supports integration with FortiClient, FortiAuthenticator, and
FortiToken to enable ZTNA, single sign-on, and multi-factor
authentication.
New enhancements providing SOC teams with faster time to
response in OT and IT environments include:
- FortiSIEM unified security analytics
dashboards now include event correlation and mapping of security
events to the Purdue Model. It also includes built-in parsers for
OT security solutions, a MITRE ATT&CK for ICS (industrial
control system) dashboard for OT-specific threat analysis, and
support for data-diode technologies.
- FortiSOAR now offers features to reduce alert
fatigue and enable security automation and orchestration across IT
and OT environments. Features include IT/OT dashboards mapped to
the Purdue Model hierarchy, OT-specific playbooks for threat
remediation, MITRE ATT&CK for ICS for threat analysis, and
enhanced integration and connectors for OT threat
intelligence.
- FortiGuard Industrial Security Service now
includes more than 2,000 application control signatures for OT
applications and protocols that support deep packet inspection. The
service also includes intrusion prevention signatures for over 500
known ICS vulnerabilities, so vulnerable assets can be virtually
patched using FortiGate’s next-generation intrusion prevention
system.
New OT specialized assessments and readiness services to
stay ahead of threats include:
- Fortinet Cyber Threat Assessment Program (CTAP) for
OT validates OT network security effectiveness,
application flows, and includes expert guidance, enabling
organizations to improve the security posture of their OT
environments.
- OT Tabletop Exercises for OT Security Teams
are led by FortiGuard Incident Response team facilitators with
expertise in threat analysis, mitigation, and incident response.
The exercises help OT security teams identify security gaps through
a series of real-world OT attack scenarios to test an
organization’s incident response plan.
An Integrated Approach to OT SecurityToday’s
announcement builds on Fortinet’s long-time support for OT
customers with solutions specifically designed for cyber-physical
security as part of the Fortinet Security Fabric for OT. This
includes more than 500 technology integrations with over 300
Fabric-Ready Technology Alliance partners, FortiGuard Labs threat
intelligence, and enhanced security operations management as
organizations expand their IT/OT network operations center (NOC)
and SOC capabilities.
