My use case for Fortinet FortiGuard is basic firewall functionality, built-in antivirus, bandwidth monitoring, web filtering, and VPN, including site-to-site VPN.
We have a team of specialists, of which I was a part years ago, but now I'm no longer directly involved. I'm still with the company, but a different set of engineers now work on it, and I manage them. I'm in a management role now. Fortinet FortiGuard is a threat intelligence service that FortiGate makes available, which keeps updating itself with the latest threats, signatures of the latest malware and all of that, so that the FortiGate device will be able to detect some of those threats when they come through the FortiGate. Fortinet FortiGuard helps prevent data breaches because it puts the device in a position to stop about 60% of these threats that Fortinet has learned of through their lab work. Once your FortiGuard update is fine, you are sure that almost all of the known attacks will be stopped by your device.

I use the solution in my company to control SCP. I use the tool to set rules for vulnerability assessments and application rules, as well as segmentation for the DMZ.

Using millions of global network sensors, FortiGuard Labs monitors the worldwide attack surface and employs artificial intelligence (AI) to mine that data for new threats, ensuring you are prepared for what’s coming.
