This makes rapid detection and automated response a key component for defense,\u201d said John Maddison, senior vice president of products and solutions, Fortinet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re honored to receive NSS Labs Recommendations for Breach Detection, which reinforce the effectiveness of our sandbox solutions.

Additionally, each solution was recognized for excellent overall value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FortiSandbox 3000D + FortiClient: Featuring 10Gbps enterprise performance, highest of any tested solution, the on-premise FortiSandbox 3000D appliance achieved an overall breach detection rate of 99% and detected 100% of the malware attacking offline devices that aren\u2019t protected within the boundaries of a corporate network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Recommended Security Fabric Defends Against Advanced Threats
Unified within the Fortinet Security Fabric, Fortinet ATP solutions leverage the dynamic analysis and intelligence of FortiSandbox to protect against today\u2019s most advanced threats and zero-day exploits. Peer-to-peer communication between FortiSandbox solutions and multiple threat prevention sources \u2013 including FortiGate enterprise firewalls, FortiClient endpoint protection, FortiMail email gateways, and FortiWeb web application firewalls \u2013 reduce the time from initial detection to security response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The open nature of Fortinet\u2019s Security Fabric also extends this intercommunication to third-party technology partners and their solutions. Only this Fabric approach can deliver rapid detection to automatic mitigation, for superior defenses against the newest and most advanced threats facing organizations today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fortinet\u2019s recent NSS Labs BDS recommendation is one of many, demonstrating Fortinet\u2019s commitment to stringent third-party testing. Fortinet has also received NSS Labs recommendations for their FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW), FortiGate Data Center Intrusion Prevention System (DCIPS), FortiClient Endpoint Protection, and FortiWeb Web Application Firewalls (WAF), among others. All of these solutions have impressively demonstrated security effectiveness scores above 99% along with industry-leading performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This ensures that Fortinet customers can implement the very best Security Fabric from IoT to the cloud and everywhere in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
