Inconsistent security across distributed networks creates vulnerabilities that cybercriminals can exploit. Breaches in one network segment can quickly spread to others as attackers leverage east-west connections. 

Deploying next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) with unified management across all network environments — including campus, data center, cloud, and branch - enables centralized threat correlation and coordinated protection.

Fortinet NGFWs address address the challenges of growing IT complexity, the cybersecurity skills gap, combating advanced AI-assisted cyber threats, and the need to add AI-driven automation to enforce consistent policies across the enterprise and quickly detect and remediate threats.
