Overview of OT Security Posture Evaluation
In today's digital landscape, safeguarding mission-critical infrastructure and air-gapped environments is essential to meet stringent confidentiality and compliance requirements. The need for robust security measures in Operational Technology (OT) is paramount, and Fortinet's NDR solutions offer a comprehensive approach to enhancing OT network security. By providing full visibility into the IT/OT network traffic and operations, FortiNDR ensures secure operations while effectively identifying advanced threats in real-time.
Agentless Network Traffic Analysis with FortiNDR
FortiNDR delivers advanced network traffic analysis capabilities across intricate industrial environments, including OT and critical infrastructure systems. By scanning over 65 OT-specific network protocols and applications such as Modbus TCP, BACnet, and OPC, FortiNDR can detect malicious network activity and files. With more than 3,000 unique application control signatures within these protocols, the solution enables real-time identification of insider threats, zero-day attacks, and other advanced cyber threats, thereby enhancing incident response capabilities.
Virtual Security Analyst (VSA) for Cyberthreat Detection
The FortiNDR VSA combines Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and artificial neural networks (ANN) to detect and analyze cyber threats targeting complex industrial networks. Leveraging a Portable Executable (PE) and text-based engine, the VSA de-obfuscates malware, leading to accurate threat detection and response. By utilizing ANN for code block analysis, the VSA offers high-fidelity alerts, ensuring the timely identification of security incidents and adherence to compliance standards.
Key Features and Benefits of FortiNDR Solutions
Fortinet NDR solutions leverage AI/ML, behavioral analysis, and human intelligence to scrutinize network traffic, including encrypted data, and identify malicious behavior while minimizing false positives. With AI-powered rapid analysis, FortiNDR detects malicious network activity across a wide range of OT-specific protocols and applications. The solution's 3,000+ unique application control signatures play a crucial role in identifying known and unknown threats in both OT and IT environments, without the need for endpoint agents.
Orchestrated Response and Network Visibility
Furthermore, FortiNDR offers security teams complete network visibility through centralized management options and flexible deployment models. By monitoring traffic across the entire network infrastructure, FortiNDR ensures a proactive approach to cybersecurity. The solution can trigger automated mitigation actions on affected endpoints by integrating with Fortinet's Next-Generation Firewalls, network access control systems, security information, event management solutions, and security orchestration tools. In-depth reporting via FortiAnalyzer provides a comprehensive overview of security incidents and helps organizations refine their security posture.
