WWT and the Fortinet SecOps platform reduce cyber risk for organizations
The Fortinet Security Operations (SecOps) platform represents a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity, designed to empower organizations to effectively detect, respond to, and mitigate threats in an increasingly complex digital landscape.
By integrating advanced technologies such as next-generation firewalls, security information and event management (SIEM), and security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) solutions, Fortinet provides a robust framework for proactive threat management. This holistic suite not only enhances visibility across the security environment but also streamlines incident response processes, enabling security teams to operate more efficiently and effectively in the face of evolving cyber threats.
WWT's Advanced Technology Center (ATC) supports the latest in Fortinet SecOps platform solutions.
What is SecOps or Security Operations?
Security Operations (SecOps) refers to the ongoing activities and processes designed to protect an organization's information systems and data from threats and vulnerabilities. It encompasses the detection, analysis, and response to security incidents, as well as proactive measures to mitigate risks.
Some key components include threat detection, incident response, vulnerability management and threat intelligence.
SecOps Goals
Overall, the primary goal of SecOps is to create a resilient and proactive security environment that safeguards organizational assets and data from ever-evolving cyber threats. In addition, the following goals have high importance in ensuring the overall security posture of an organization:
Enhance Security Posture
Strengthening defenses to reduce the likelihood and impact of cyber incidents.
Rapid Incident Response
Minimizing response times to security incidents to limit damage and recover swiftly.
Continuous Improvement
Adapting and evolving security measures based on lessons learned from incidents and emerging threats.
Collaboration
Fostering teamwork among various stakeholders, including IT, compliance, and legal teams, to ensure a unified approach to security.
Visibility and Awareness
Maintaining comprehensive visibility across the security landscape to stay informed about potential risks and threats.
