Securing OT with the Fortinet Security Fabric

As industrial environments increase connectivity with external and internal applications and corporate IT networks, critical OT assets are exposed. IT/OT silos hinder the deployment of a cybersecurity strategy capable of mitigating threats in real time. The results can be devastating with the potential to disrupt critical infrastructure, resources, and services serving communities. The 2023 Fortinet State of Operational Technology and Cybersecurity Report found that three-fourths of OT organizations reported at least one intrusion in the last year and nearly one-third of respondents reported being victims of a ransomware attack. The Fortinet Security Fabric seamlessly enables security for converged IT/OT ecosystems. It also provides OT-centric features and products to extend Security-Fabric capabilities to OT networks in factories, plants, remote locations, and ships. To help alleviate security risks across the organization, we’ve continued to enhance our OT security offerings. These innovations range from edge products to NOC and SOC tools and services to ensure effective and efficient networking and cybersecurity performance and operation.
