Attackers often combine malicious activity with network traffic and use encrypted channels to exfiltrate data, so it can be challenging to discover and distinguish between genuine and malicious activities. By analyzing suspicious activity from multiple sources, including network metadata and deployed decoy devices, security teams can get high-fidelity detections of unknown attacks and weak indicators of malicious activity and stop evolving threats more quickly.

The Fortinet Network Detection Security solution combines advanced analytics, machine learning, behavioral analysis, and decoy deployment to detect unusual and malicious activities within network traffic. The solution helps overburdened security teams find and stop advanced threats that may bypass traditional security solutions like firewalls and antivirus.
