Integration with existing systems saves time and streamlines operations
We use the Fortinet Penetration Testing Service because it was recommended by the company we work with The integration with Fortinet Security Fabric is perfect for us. It is also a time-saving solution because we have other solutions from Fortinet and the Fabric integration is beneficial for us.…

Deploying autonomous security tools improves network protection and efficiency
One of the areas where improvement is needed is in the visibility and reporting for large enterprises. The existing GUI or NodeZero insights provide better visibility, but there's still room for enhancement. Moreover, there is a need to automate interactions with other systems, particularly in triggering or opening tickets in ServiceNow ( /products/servicenow-reviews ). Adding the application layer would also be valuable for clients.
