Securing IT-OT
The increasing connectivity in industrial environments has made securing operational technology (OT) assets more challenging than ever. Legacy systems, IT-OT network convergence, and insecure remote access have expanded the attack surface, leaving critical systems vulnerable. Fortinet’s OT Security Platform offers a comprehensive solution, bridging IT/OT silos to deliver real-time protection across environments like factories, plants, and ships. With purpose-built, industrial-grade firewalls, switches, and access points, the platform is designed to withstand harsh conditions, featuring dual power supplies and heat sinks. Recognised as the sole leader in the 2023 IT/OT Network Protection Platforms Navigator™, Fortinet continues to set the standard for integrated OT cybersecurity solutions that align with industry regulations.

6 Criteria for Choosing Next-Generation Firewalls
FAQ's
How Does Network Security Work?
Network security works by implementing multiple layers of defence across both the network edge and internal systems. Each layer is governed by policies and controls that ensure only authorised users can access network resources, while malicious actors are identified and blocked.
By combining tools such as firewalls, secure access solutions, and advanced threat detection, network security provides comprehensive protection against exploits and threats. This layered approach ensures that your business remains safeguarded, from endpoints to cloud environments.
What is ZTNA?
Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) is a security framework designed to provide secure, seamless access to applications regardless of user location. Unlike traditional network access methods, ZTNA operates on a “trust nothing, verify everything” principle, granting access only after verifying the user’s identity and device posture.
Fortinet Universal ZTNA enables employees to securely connect to applications hosted anywhere—whether they are working remotely or in the office. This ensures a consistent and secure experience for the hybrid workforce, helping organisations protect sensitive data and maintain productivity.
Why consider a Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW)?
A Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) is an advanced security solution that goes beyond traditional firewalls by incorporating additional features such as deep packet inspection, application awareness, and integrated threat intelligence. NGFWs are designed to provide enhanced protection against sophisticated cyber threats by identifying and blocking malicious activity based on specific applications, users, and content. They also offer features like intrusion prevention, malware detection, and secure remote access, making them an essential component of modern network security.
How does SASE differ from traditional VPN?
SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) is a modern security framework that combines networking and security services, such as SD-WAN, secure web gateways, and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), into a single, cloud-delivered service. Unlike traditional VPNs (Virtual Private Networks), which only create secure connections between users and the network, SASE provides more comprehensive protection by securing access to applications, data, and devices across the entire network, regardless of location. SASE also supports a more dynamic, scalable model, particularly suited for cloud and remote work environments, offering greater flexibility and security.
Why is Cloud Firewall critical for hybrid environments?
A Cloud Firewall is crucial for hybrid environments because it provides scalable, cloud-based protection that secures both on-premise and cloud resources. As businesses move more applications and data to the cloud, traditional on-premise firewalls are no longer sufficient to secure the entire infrastructure. Cloud firewalls offer centralised control, allowing organisations to manage and protect their hybrid environments from a single point while ensuring secure access to cloud-based applications and services. They can dynamically adapt to changes in the network, ensuring continuous, real-time protection.
