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).

As billions of consumer and industrial IoT devices are deployed in our smart vehicles, homes, factories, and cities, the security implications of our increasingly interconnected society are beginning to scale out of control. Securing the IoT should focus on 3 steps: learn, segment, protect.

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, ...

Today's cybercriminals run their operations like a business, and to be successful they constantly invest in the latest tools in order to circumvent security and breach the networks of their targeted victims. As a result, today's security landscape is highly dynamic and constantly evolving.

Microsoft Ignite - Australia - Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition February 14-17th https://msftignite.com.au/ Is cloud the new normal for your enterprise? Are you moving more and more applications into the cloud? Have you asked yourself how you are securing your data in this new world of cloud? Scalability and flexibility are the key drivers of Cloud networking and computing. With more and more business transitioning to public cloud environments, the cloud is becoming an increasingly attractive ...

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 ...

The K-12 learning environment has moved beyond the physical walls of the classroom thanks to behavioral shifts and digital connectivity. However, robust and speedy network services that are designed to keep student and faculty data secure come with a price tag. The cost of ongoing connectivity and keeping networks secure is a constant barrier for most school districts, but thankfully, the E-rate program gives them an opportunity to do just that. Take a look at the graphic below to see how the classroom ...

As technology within the financial services industry continues to evolve, so too does the threat landscape. Fortinet offers cybersecurity predictions for 2017.

The shift towards deploying and managing a more patient-friendly healthcare environment that includes the myriad of devices being accessed by patients and employees can be very challenging, especially when it comes to endpoint security.
