Fortinet releases overall industrial control system solution

The development of the Industrial Internet has enhanced the automation control, visualization, and data insight capabilities of the infrastructure, but it has also introduced a more complex security environment, and users will face high-risk risks from network attacks directly to the production line. Recently, Fortinet officially announced the latest Operational Technology (OT) security architecture and Fortinet industrial security overall solutions. This solution not only provides visualization and defense capabilities against known threats, but also through firewalls and centralized management solutions, as well as Nozomi, a leader in industrial control networks and security visibility and control and other integrated solutions to detect and prevent abnormal behaviors, and create a deceptive “maze network”, which provides industrial enterprises with a more secure embrace of the Industrial Internet.

Fortinet Security Fabric’s risk management framework is different. All scenarios can provide highly adaptive security capabilities. These scenarios include:

• Fortinet’s Security Fabric enables granular security policies that can be enforced based on criteria such as user identity, application, location, and device type.
• FortiGate’s end-to-end segmentation capabilities implemented throughout the ICS network can provide greater visibility and scale to large ICS deployments making them even more secure.
• Fortinet’s Advanced Persistent Threat Protection Framework detects and analyzes advanced attacks that might bypass more traditional signature-based defenses.
• FortiGate’s rugged next-generation firewalls are built to withstand the extreme temperatures, harsh climates and hazardous locations that are common in remote ICS environments.
• Nozomi SCADAguardian is a network monitoring and protection solution developed specifically for ICS. An integrated discovery and learning capability for ICS, it facilitates the creation of tailored security profiles and automatically detects critical anomalies. Additionally, underlying industrial processes are constantly monitored at the deepest level through an innovative Industrial Virtual Image Technology.

The importance of OT environment and facility security, as well as the complexity of the physical and security environment, determines that industrial security solutions must meet stringent requirements in terms of availability, visibility, and stability. Fortinet provides hardware and software designs that meet the harsh environment of industrial control security and meet industry standards and compliance. It not only meets the requirements of the industrial environment but also can be updated under a closed network to ensure stable security protection capabilities at all times.
