Fortinet Strengthens Security Fabric with Strategic Partnerships
Fortinet, a leading cybersecurity solutions provider, has announced a series of strategic partnerships that aim to bolster its Security Fabric. The Fabric-Ready Partner Program offers resources and tools for alliance partners to integrate with the Security Fabric, develop joint solutions, and become part of the Fortinet Open Ecosystem.
One of the most notable partnerships is with Armis, a full-stack, best-in-class OT/IoT security solution. Together, they provide a comprehensive security solution that sees, protects, and manages every critical OT asset in the environment.
The partnership with CrowdStrike, another industry leader in endpoint protection and threat intelligence, has resulted in advanced endpoint security that is integrated with Fortinet solutions. This collaboration enhances Fortinet's threat intelligence capabilities, providing broad visibility, simplified operations, enhanced incident response, rapid deployment, and partner solutions sharing real-time threat intelligence with the Security Fabric.
Digital Realty, a provider of data center and cloud infrastructure, supports secure cloud connectivity and data center security through its integration with Fortinet's Security Fabric. Equinix, a global data center and interconnection services provider, enhances hybrid cloud and security fabric interconnectivity, further extending Fortinet's reach.
Megaport, a provider of cloud connectivity and network-as-a-service, enables seamless cloud network integration with Security Fabric. Qualcomm, a leader in wireless and mobile network security, adds wireless security layers into Fortinet’s fabric, providing comprehensive protection across various networks.
ServiceNow, a provider of IT service management and security operations, facilitates automation and orchestration around security response, improving operational efficiency and response times. FortiWeb, a Web Application Firewall (WAF), and FortiGate, a Next Generation Firewall (NGFW), are key examples of deep integrations that enhance web and network protection, respectively.
FortiSandbox, Fortinet's advanced threat detection and sandboxing solution, shares threat intelligence across the fabric for coordinated defense, ensuring a unified security response. The Security Fabric architecture enables unified security visibility and coordinated threat response across all these technologies, driving overall security posture improvements and operational efficiency.
While Fortinet’s Fabric-Ready Program encompasses hundreds of partners and thousands of integrations, the above represent the most prominent and strategically integrated partner solutions that complement and extend the Security Fabric's capabilities across diverse domains like endpoint, cloud, IoT, web, and IT service management.
These partnerships demonstrate Fortinet’s commitment to interoperability and its extensive open ecosystem, which addresses the challenges posed by the complexities of modern security environments. With over 3,000 pre-validated integrations optimized for the Security Fabric, Fortinet's Open Ecosystem is a testament to the company's vision of a truly integrated and unified cybersecurity solution.
