2018: Accession to Fortinet

On October 30, 2018 the Fortinet company which is the developer of the large-scale, integrated and automated systems of information security announced completion of the transaction on acquisition of private company on identification and response to internal cloud threats of ZoneFox which main office is located in Edinburgh, Scotland.

"Significant increase in quantity of the endpoints and users getting access to corporate data and cloud resources promotes emergence of new internal threats to which the organizations are forced to resist. According to the report 2018 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, actually 30 percent of violations are connected with imprudent or malicious actions of staff of the organizations. Thanks to integration of a cloud technology of identification of threats of ZoneFox and the existing security aids of endpoints and the solutions SIEM Fortinet clients will get access to complex functions of counteraction to internal threats and also will be able to eliminate network vulnerabilities and to be protected from new threats by means of technologies of automation and machine learning". Ken Xie, founder, chairman of the board and CEO of Fortinet company

According to Fortinet, accession of ZoneFox company increases efficiency of Fortinet Security Fabric and promotes gain of positions of Fortinet in the market of security aids of endpoints and SIEM technologies due to providing following features to clients:

• More effective tracking of endpoints, related data streams and behavior of users both in network, and beyond its limits.
  • the Functions of machine learning supporting processing of billions of events daily for the purpose of receiving up-to-date data about threats on the basis of which detection of vulnerabilities and the notification of users about suspicious activity is performed.
  • the Cloud computing architecture of collection of data on five main components of networks — users, devices, resources, processes and behavior — for the purpose of accomplishment of the analysis and effective setup the politician.
  • the Complete chronological sequence of analytical data and the simple interface of search using which analysts can quickly develop measures of increase in efficiency of a corporate system of security.
  • not requiring setup and convenient agent in deployment; thanks to scaling function the solution supports more than 10,000 agents without prejudice to performance.
  • Instant support of standards GDPR ISO 27001, HIPAA and PCI DSS thanks to previously configured politicians.
