A highly commercialised cyber-criminal ecosystem constantly changes its attacks and techniques. Whether it's a ransomware family, phishing campaign, or infrastructural vulnerability organisations must constantly be prepared to defend against something new at all times. That's where the threat research and intelligence of the FortiGuard Labs is critical. Extensive knowledge of the threat landscape, combined with the ability to respond quickly at multiple levels, is the foundation for providing effective security. Spanning 10 distinct security disciplines, hundreds of researchers at FortiGuard Labs scour the cyber landscape and proactively seek out new avenues of attack every day to discover (and ideally pre-empt) emerging threats. The FortiGuard team develops effective countermeasures to protect more than 300,000 Fortinet customers around the world. These countermeasures include up-to-the-minute threat intelligence, delivered as a subscription service for existing Fortinet security products. Services provided include: Anti-Virus: FortiGuard Labs identified and neutralised nearly 100,000 malware programs targeting traditional, mobile, and IoT platforms. Patented technologies such as the Fortinet Content Pattern Recognition Language,- CPRL, enable FortiGuard antivirus to identify thousands of current and future malware variants with a single signature optimising your deployment's security effectiveness and performance. Anti-Spam: Email is still the No.1 source for the start of an advanced attack on an organisation, so a highly effective antispam solution should be a key part of any security strategy. FortiGuard Antispam detects unwanted and often malicious email with global spam filtering that uses sender IP reputation and spam signatures. To keep your antispam solution optimised, FortiGuard Labs delivers nearly 46 million new and updated spam rules every single week.

FortiClient - End Point Device ProtectionWith a multitude of devices jumping on to the network each day ranging from corporate laptops to BYOD and even IoT, organisations often struggle to identify and secure these devices that are either internal or external to the organisation, increasing the risk of a potential data breach.

FortiClient integrates with Fortinet's Security Fabric to provide endpoint awareness, compliance and enforcement by sharing endpoint telemetry regardless of device location e.g. corporate headquarters or a café. At its core, FortiClient automates prevention of known and unknown threats through its built-in host-based security stack and integration with FortiSandbox. FortiClient will provide:
