Fortinet,
the
global
cybersecurity
company
driving
the
convergence
of
networking
and
security,
has
announced
that
it
has
been
named
a
Visionary
in
the
2022
Gartner
Magic
Quadrant
for
Endpoint
Protection
Platforms.
Fortinet
states
that
this
recognition
is
in
part
due
to
its
ability
to
integrate
behaviour-based
endpoint
protection,
endpoint
detection
and
response
(EDR)
and
extended
detection
and
response
(XDR),
which
is
backed
by
expert
managed
detection
and
response
(MDR)
and
incident
response
(IR)
professional
services.
Moreover,
Fortinet
delivers
a
comprehensive
work-from-anywhere
solution
by
offering
advanced
secure
connectivity
through
ZTNA,
SASE,
and
CASB
with
our
behaviour-based
endpoint
protection,
detection,
and
response
capabilities.
This
unique
combination
enables
a
secure
path
between
the
user,
their
devices,
and
the
applications
they
are
using.
By
deploying
Fortinet’s
endpoint
security
solutions,
customers
are
realising
benefits,
such
as
the
ability
to:
-
Realise
faster
response
time,
as
well
as
reduced
mean
time
to
detection
and
remediation
of
unknown
threats
by
automating
security
operations
with
recently
patented
cloud
AI,
which
is
continually
trained
to
validate
incidents
like
a
seasoned
security
pro,
to
ease
the
burden
on
in-house
teams
and
augment
in-house
operations. -
Stop
sophisticated
attacks
such
as
ransomware
in
real
time,
online
or
offline,
before
data
encryption
or
theft
can
occur
with
the
combination
of
onboard
and
cloud-delivered
behaviour-based
AI
in
addition
to
traditional
endpoint
protection
features
for
workstations
and
servers. -
See
the
complete
picture
by
correlating
security
data
sets
for
holistic
protection,
with
the
ability
to
fetch
data
wherever
it
lives
by
supporting
multi-data
lake
telemetry
analytics
across
multiple
security
tools
–
wherever
it
resides
via
XDR. -
Coordinate
incident
response
across
security
silos
with
an
automated
playbook
framework
that
supports
both
native
Fortinet
and
custom
third-party
connectors,
as
part
of
Fortinet’s
Fabric-Ready
partner
ecosystem. -
Take
advantage
of
fully
managed
options,
ranging
from
senior
security
operations
center
(SOC)
staff
available
from
FortiGuard
Labs
or
Fortinet
partners.
Fortinet’s
MDR
offering
can
be
extended
to
include
network
management
by
adding
Fortinet’s
SOC-as-a-Service
capability
and
advanced
Incident
Response
Service
as
well
as
SOC
training
workshops
and
security
assessments.
In
addition
to
this
recognition
from
Gartner,
Fortinet’s
endpoint
security
has
recently
been
tested
in
the
Round
Four
MITRE
Engenuity
ATT&CK
evaluations,
which
assess
the
ability
of
cybersecurity
products
to
detect
known
adversary
behaviour,
with
the
2022
evaluations
focusing
on
ransomware
threat
actor
campaigns.
According
to
Fortinet,
the
results
demonstrate
the
ability
of
FortiEDR
to
not
only
detect,
but
more
importantly
block,
even
previously
unknown
ransomware
and
other
cyber
threat
campaigns
based
on
behaviour,
rather
than
requiring
known
threat
intelligence.
For
the
second
year
in
a
row,
FortiEDR
blocked
all
attacks
in
the
protection
scenario
without
a
dependence
on
signatures.
FortiEDR
also
received
a
visibility
rating
of
97%
for
detecting
nearly
all
of
the
sub-techniques
in
the
Windows
test
scenarios.
John
Maddison,
EVP
of
Products
and
CMO
at
Fortinet,
says, “Many
endpoints
are
bloated
with
security
agents
from
a
variety
of
different
vendors,
says,
“Fortinet
envisions
that
–
just
like
networks
–
the
endpoint
agent
will
converge
with
a
single
agent
for
firewall,
VPN,
EPP,
EDR,
SASE,
and
ZTNA,
all
part
of
the
Fortinet
Security
Fabric.
We
believe
this
continued
innovation
is
a
primary
reason
Gartner
has
recognised
Fortinet
as
a
Visionary
in
the
Magic
Quadrant
for
Endpoint
Protection
Platforms.”
