Fortinet Provides Zero-day Protection in OT Environments

Information technology (IT) networks have a wide assortment of security technologies to protect organizations against advanced threats. However, industries that utilize operational technology (OT) systems have many fewer options for cybersecurity defenses. Even more concerning, OT breaches in critical infrastructure (e.g., hydroelectric dams, nuclear power plants, oil and gas pipelines) can have serious consequences that impact the environment and human lives. Network operations analysts need purpose-built security tools for their OT-based systems that are capable of discovering previously unknown malware and attacks without disrupting the potentially sensitive nature of their operations. FortiSandbox and FortiDeceptor support comprehensive OT security—including intelligence sharing for protection against zero-day threats.
