Convergence of OT IT and changes the way business is conducted in many organizations, and also creates risks for. safety It is critical that OT organizations implement security-based network solutions that provide connectivity even in remote and harsh environments.

According to the company, shifts occur in the way data is generated and collected in operating environments. In industries such as manufacturing, electricity and utilities, oil and gas and other important infrastructure, their distributed locations have traditionally relied on expensive leased lines or MPLS channels to provide communications. SD-WAN is becoming a state-of-the-art OT solution that optimizes user interaction, simplifies management, and reduces total cost of ownership, but requires a solution that meets the specific needs of the OT environments.

To solve the problems of OT organizations, Fortinet releases FortiGate Rugged 60F and FortiGate Rugged 60F with built-in LTE, versions of the FortiGate 60 series of enhanced strength, Secure SD-WAN devices for desktop.
