Safeguarding OT

OT networks are changing rapidly, removing traditional air gaps and connecting to untrusted networks. This modernization, while beneficial, increases cybersecurity risks. Instead of disparate point products operating in silos, Fortinet's OT Security Platform offers a comprehensive solution by seamlessly integrating multi-layered security and networking capabilities across IT and OT environments. This integrated approach, coupled with industry-leading threat intelligence, enables fast, automated responses to attacks. A single Fortinet solution can cover the entire converged IT/OT network, closing security gaps, providing full visibility, and simplifying management.
