Powerful Small Business Endpoint Security by Fortinet

Small Businesses need to stay ahead of the fast-changing digital threats that can harm their data and operations. Endpoint security is vital for keeping users safe no matter where they work from. Fortinet, a leader in cybersecurity, offers a complete solution that protects devices from malware, ransomware, and other attacks. Using machine learning and AI technologies from FortiGuard Labs, their solution provides automated and up-to-date threat intelligence. This means that users are always defended against both known and new threats, without requiring manual intervention. 

Fortinet's solution also integrates network and endpoint security, giving administrators full visibility and control  from one device. This allows them to apply consistent policies, such as web and content filtering, even when users are not on the network. By expanding security measures beyond the traditional office setting, organizations can effectively reduce the risk of remote work and ensure comprehensive protection for their users. 

Protect, Detect, and Respond. 

Fortinet offers a comprehensive solution that integrates network and endpoint security to provide complete visibility and control from a single device. This unified approach ensures that policies, such as web and content filtering, are enforced consistently, even when users are not on the network. By expanding security measures beyond the traditional offce environment, organizations can effectively reduce risks associated with remote work and establish full protection for their users. 

Fortinet's solution leverages the latest machine learning and AI technologies developed by FortiGuard Labs to provide advanced endpoint protection against malware, ransomware, and other malicious activities. Their solution delivers near real-time automated threat intelligence, which protects users from both known threats and emerging variants, without requiring manual intervention. 

Endpoint Security: Protecting Employees Anywhere. 

One of the benefits of FortiClient is that it simplifies the process of scanning for vulnerabilities and remotely installing updates on user devices, which lowers the risk of unpatched weaknesses and other possible threats. Administrators can see device information, status, applications, and overall endpoint risk, which helps them make smart choices and take preventive  actions to protect the network. If an endpoint is too risky, administrators can limit network access until the required updates are done, which reduces the chance of security breaches. 

Endpoint security is very important when employees work from home. Fortinet's FortiClient offers a strong solution that combines powerful endpoint security with full visibility into users' devices, including applications and vulnerabilities. This comprehensive approach ensures the prevention of potential attacks while allowing administrators to actively monitor the security status of each endpoint. 

Secure Access for Remote Workers.

FortiClient enables zero-trust access for organizations, ensuring that only authorized users and applications can access the network, regardless of where they are located. By integrating FortiToken multifactor authentication with BPN or ZTNA, businesses can simplify the login process while enhancing security.

Remote workers need secure access to office resources and applications. Fortinet’s VPN software, available through FortiClient, creates an encrypted tunnel that connects them to the corporate network. This way, they can work securely from anywhere, whether it’s their home, an airport, or a coffee shop.

Handling Increased VPN Demands.

              An effective endpoint security solution for small businesses is crucial in today’s remote work environment. Fortinet delivers a powerful and comprehensive security platform that protects users’ devices from various cyber threats, whether they are in the office or on the go. Fortinet uses advanced machine learning, AI technologies, and integrated network and endpoint security to detect and prevent both known and unknown attacks. By investing in endpoint security and utilizing FortiClient’s features, businesses can enable their remote workforce to work securely and productively. Fortinet offers the confidence and reliability that businesses need to face the dynamic and complex cyber landscape. As a certified Fortinet partner, IBSCY Ltd provides top-notch cybersecurity solutions to defend your business from malicious actors.

              One of the challenges of remote work is the increased demand on the BPN infrastructure, as network traffic from employees passes through the firewall. Fortinet’s FortiGate is specially built to handle this challenge. It has custom technology that can inspect and decrypt VPN traffic faster, ensuring secure and efficient connectivity for remote workers.
