What is Fortinet looking forward to at GISEC this year? Do you think the event will be different from the previous years?

Fortinet welcomes a great degree of normalcy to a key industry platform such as GISEC which gives us an opportunity to network and showcase our industry-leading solutions. The pandemic has demonstrated how important wise cybersecurity investments are to enabling business continuity. We are looking forward to engage with C-level decision makers to help them unravel complexities in their security investments and create effective security designs and strategies that work in today’s threat landscape.

What will Fortinet’s focus be at GISEC this year?

This year we will showcase one of our latest solutions which delivers advanced, real-time threat intelligence, visibility, analysis, management, and protection for endpoints both pre-and postinfection, FortiEDR. It proactively reduces the attack surface, prevents malware infection, detects and defuses potential threats in real time, and can automate response and remediation procedures with customizable playbooks. Forti EDR also eliminates alert fatigue and breach anxiety, standardizes your incident response procedures, and optimises your security operation resources with advanced automation.
