Application Security

Protecting business critical services

While businesses rely on email and mission-critical web applications to get work done, these systems also represent a significant part of an organization’s attack surface. Security for business applications is essential to ensuring a proactive security posture.

Fortinet delivers a rich set of solutions for protecting these critical business applications. FortiWeb web application firewalls (WAF) and FortiADC application delivery controllers defend web applications across an organization. FortiCASB cloud access security broker (CASB) provides essential visibility, compliance, data security, and threat protection for cloud-based services, while FortiMail secure email gateway stops advanced email threats and prevents data loss. With these solutions, the Fortinet Security Fabric platform delivers unparalleled protection and visibility for the most critical business tools.

WEB Security

Securing Web Applications

Ensure comprehensive protection for the most business-critical web applications. In addition, easily simplify compliance and regulation of public-facing regulated applications.

Web Application Security

Centralized security for web-based public-facing applications helps mitigate risk. Streamline the protection of vulnerable systems and gain deep visibility to react to threats fast. 

Web API Security

Secure increasingly public web-based APIs and confidently extend APIs to third parties. 

Protect Web Applications

Web applications have long been favorite targets of hackers. They can provide access to valuable information and they’re relatively easy to exploit. A successful attack can have devastating consequences, including financial loss, damage to brand reputation, and loss of customer trust. Some organizations never recover from a major security breach.

A network firewall is the first line of defense in a data center, but it isn’t enough. Many new attacks that target applications and end users require additional protections that a firewall or an IPS can’t provide. Signature-based detection, IP reputation, and deep-packet inspection can stop some of these advanced threats, but they have limited offerings. Organizations need additional products like web application firewalls, application delivery controllers, and sandboxing integration to address these new threats to the data center and users.

As part of the Fortinet Security Fabric, web applications receive more protection than with standalone solutions. For example, sandbox integration enhances the included antivirus scanning for advanced threat detection. In combination with FortiGate, organizations benefit from simplified deployment and shared threat intelligence; integration with leading threat scanning service providers enable advanced vulnerability patching.

Key solution components:

  • Web application firewalls for web application vulnerability patching
  • High-capacity application delivery controllers to secure web application traffic
  • DDoS mitigation with protection for attacks that target layer 7 application services

Fortinet’s Web Application Security solution delivers the security, performance, and integration needed to protect mission-critical web applications from attacks that target known and unknown vulnerabilities

Email Security

Securing Email

Organizations can efficiently secure email from advanced threats, in the cloud, and even consolidate email solutions. With top-rated solutions, Fortinet offers robust application security where it matters. 

Advanced Email Threat Defense

Fortinet advanced threat defense solutions protect the network from email-borne threats, and can supplement existing secure email gateway solutions.

Securing Cloud-based Email

Flexible Security-as-a-Service (SaaS), public-cloud, or API-based deployments protect email in cloud environments. They are also compatible with Microsoft Office 365 and Google G-Suite. 

Email remains the most critical communications tool for business. Unfortunately, that also makes email the top threat vector, with the volume and sophistication of attacks ever-increasing. At the same time, customers are increasingly moving to cloud email providers, like Microsoft 365 and Google G-Suite, and are struggling to secure their email traffic. The built-in, native security tools available in these platforms are by themselves insufficient to guard against attacks, protect valuable data, and ensure compliance objectives are met. FortiMail, Fortinet’s secure email gateway solution, provides a comprehensive, multi-layered approach to address all inbound and outbound email traffic. Fortinet is a trusted vendor and offers the industry’s broadest portfolio of security solutions,—including identity management, advanced threat/zero-day protections and security-driven networking—with its Security Fabric.
