In this video, you will learn how to connect and configure a new FortiGate unit in Transparent mode to securely connect a private network to the Internet. Transparent mode is used if you want to silently apply security scanning to traffic without applying routing or network address translation (NAT), such as when a FortiGate is used as an Internal Segmentation Firewall (ISFW).

Many businesses struggle to keep up with the security threats they face, and they don't know how to take the next step to ...

Monitoring, managing, and protecting the formless scope and scale of today's highly distributed and dynamically changing digital enterprise network is a daunting task for IT and Security Operations Teams. The proliferation of IoT and mobile devices, the convergence of IT and OT, and adoption of cloud-based networking and services is making detection and response to threats increasingly difficult, if not impossible with today's tools. When the network around you is constantly adapting to shifting ...

For many of us in the Security Industry, the possibility of using Internet of Things (IoT) devices as a launchpad for an attack has been mostly theoretical. However, information obtained after the massive distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack against the services offered by DYN.com appears to show that the threat is real and immediate. The definition of IoT is often a little vague. Generally speaking, I consider any device with an IP address associated with it to be some sort of an IoT device, ...

The Bricker bot made the news a couple of weeks ago as being responsible for knocking unsecured IoT devices offline, rather than hijacking them into other botnets and using them for a DDoS attack like the massive event we saw last year against DYN. This is the third botnet that targets insecure IoT devices, but the only one that is destructive. The second, dubbed Hajime, breaks the into IoT devices, but instead of bricking them, it makes them more secure by disabling remote access to the device from ...

During a 2015 event at the Northwestern Institute for Policy Research, participating panelists discussed the digital revolution and the classroom's exposure to it. At the time, school districts had begun to adopt 1:1 policies, where each student would have access to laptops or tablets.
