Manager at Volta River Authority
Threat intelligence has consistently minimized downtime and safeguarded revenue
Fortinet FortiGuard's machine learning capabilities contribute to our cybersecurity by performing numerous predictions and assessing possibilities, enabling us to prepare ahead for potential incidents. I have benefited from automated threat response, which is absolutely brilliant because if we have to go through logs to see what is going on, we would never finish. Automating these things allows alerts to be given so we can concentrate effort on critical areas, helping us to optimize our resources effectively. We are also looking at automating the response, where response can be automated, and then we can focus on forensic investigations to understand what happened and see whether we need to tweak the automation to make it work better. The benefits I gain from using Fortinet FortiGuard include peace of mind. It has contributed to ensuring that we are always available and can meet our availability targets. This means that productivity is maintained, and revenues will rake in as planned. The moment something gets through and causes a breach, likely causing downtime, it means you're losing money.

Client feedback highlights smooth performance with enhancements expected over time
The system responds to potential threats in real time, which is very important, and the Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System performs excellently. In Bangladesh, one bank keeps performing with this solution, and I think it will be an example for others as well. The bank wants to protect their network, and this is a cybersecurity solution. For providing cybersecurity solutions, they explore many things. Basically, every kind of BFSI uses a network firewall, which is a very basic component.
