The acquisition further enhances the Fortinet Security Fabric and strengthens Fortinet\u2019s powerful endpoint and network security solutions by providing customers with advanced endpoint security that offers:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Automated real-time protection against advanced threats and incident response services provided by a team of cyber threat experts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Patented code-tracing technologies that thwart attacks and prevent exfiltration and ransomware, to help ensure PCI, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Lightweight agent with protection parity across multiple operating systems including Linux, Windows, and macOS.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Unique coordinated security for the Internet of Things (IoT), through integrated access control and endpoint security functionality.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Flexible on-premise and cloud deployment with multi-tenancy and the ability to scale to hundreds of thousands of endpoints.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><b><strong>Ken Xie, CEO, founder and Chairman of the Board at Fortinet said, <\/strong><\/b>\u201cAs businesses become more networked and operations extend from the cloud to the edge and Internet-of-Things, the digital attack surface has expanded exponentially and has become more complex to secure. Manual threat hunting or point security solutions are ineffective when managing or securing these new environments. Instead security and the network need to be integrated and orchestrated to enable advanced threat containment at network speeds. In acquiring enSilo, we add automated, real-time detection, protection, and response enhancements to our Fortinet Security Fabric to further protect endpoints and corresponding edge data.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The combination of Fortinet and enSilo will be a powerful offering for enterprises and service providers of all sizes. Fortinet intends to offer customers additional security effectiveness through the integration of enSilo\u2019s endpoint detection and response (EDR) technology with Fortinet\u2019s FortiSIEM solution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">FortiInsight\u00a0UEBA (user entity behavior analytics) features, and\u00a0FortiNAC\u00a0solution. Enterprises will gain superior endpoint visibility and tightly coordinated, dynamic control of network, user, and host activity within their environment. Likewise, MSSPs will be able to extract the full value of this combination and deliver a comprehensive and efficient managed detection and response (MDR) service. Furthermore, enSilo, a Fortinet Security Fabric-ready partner prior to the acquisition, already complements\u00a0FortiGate Next-generation Firewalls,\u00a0FortiSandbox, FortiSIEM and the\u00a0FortiClient\u00a0Fabric Agent, providing an additional detection and enforcement layer that helps organizations further reduce the time to detect, investigate, and remediate malicious attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><b><strong>Roy Katmor, Chief Executive Officer and Founder, enSilo said, <\/strong><\/b>\u201cTogether, enSilo and Fortinet share the commitment to solve customers\u2019 most difficult challenges and to protect the endpoint and their corresponding operations and data. Now, enSilo brings its patented approach for advanced endpoint protection and response to Fortinet and its broad security portfolio.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><b><strong>\u00a0Dave Gruber, Senior Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) said, <\/strong><\/b>\u201cAccording to ESG research,\u00a076% of organizations find threat detection and response more difficult today than two years ago. Vendors like Fortinet\u00a0are tackling this problem by constructing an integrated security platform across endpoints, network and cloud infrastructure. The move to\u00a0natively add enSilo\u2019s automated EDR capabilities to the Fortinet platform should improve and accelerate alert correlation, leading to faster threat detection and incident response.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2022 Enhances integrated security portfolio with real-time automated detection and response capabilities to further protect endpoints and edge data Fortinet, a global leader in broad, integrated and automated cybersecurity solutions, announced recently it has completed the acquisition of enSilo, a privately-held advanced endpoint security company headquartered in San Francisco, California.
