HN712: FortiGuard Security Services: Invisible Operations, Tangible Results (Sponsored)

Today we’re talking security, but security you don’t always see. Fortinet, today’s sponsor, has millions of devices in the field. These are real-world devices seeing real-world traffic, all day, everyday. While those devices have a primary protection role, they can also serve as sensors that collect threat signals and feed threat intelligence services that can, in turn, make all those devices more capable. Why do you care? Because FortiGuard Security Services are a component of your Fortinet solution that you might not even know is there. But it’s the piece of the security solution keeping it up to date from the latest attacks. Which Fortinet products leverage FortiGuard Security Services? Do you have to go to a training class to use this feature? If a FortiGate firewall is being used as a remote sensor, what’s happening to your company’s data? Is it risky to share that data? How does this type of service handle zero day attacks? We’ll answer those questions and more on today’s Heavy Networking podcast.
