DNVN - Fortinet has just announced new enhancements to its OT security platform to enhance the protection of critical infrastructure against increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity threats.
The new enhancements go beyond traditional OT visibility solutions and deliver deeper OT threat visibility with FortiGuard OT security services. Fortinet expands its industrial solutions portfolio (designed to be rugged, rugged, and impact-resistant to ensure effective operation in harsh environments) for network segments and 5G in critical environments, and its enhanced OT SecOps portfolio automates threat response and compliance monitoring.
“As cyber threats to critical infrastructure and the energy, transportation, and manufacturing industries continue to grow, Fortinet is committed to providing comprehensive security solutions specifically designed for operational technology environments,” said Nirav Shah, senior vice president of products and solutions at Fortinet. “These latest enhancements provide organizations with the tools they need to improve OT security and ensure regulatory compliance, all managed through a single, unified platform.”
The latest updates to the Fortinet OT security platform deliver powerful features that enhance OT security.
Combining the FortiGate Rugged Next-Generation Firewall with enhancements from the FortiGuard OT Security Service delivers optimal protection in OT environments, enabling organizations to detect threats across more than 3,300 OT protocol rules, nearly 750 OT IPS rules, and 1,500 virtual patching rules.
These features help protect against known exploited vulnerabilities (KEVs) and other cyber risks, while also providing advanced threat protection through virtual patching for legacy OT systems. Additional new security features include updates to FortiSRA, enhanced secure remote access with password management, and improved security credentials for OT environments.
To ensure secure network segmentation, Fortinet is introducing two new industrial switches, the FortiSwitch Rugged 108F and FortiSwitch Rugged 112F-POE, expanding its portfolio of small form factor industrial switches. These switches provide granular port-level security, preventing unauthorized lateral movement in OT networks, while maintaining seamless integration with the broader Fortinet security ecosystem. These switches, built on the integrated FortiOS operating system, simplify network and security management.
For secure and sustainable connectivity, Fortinet is introducing two advanced 5G solutions that are ruggedized to operate in harsh conditions: the FortiExtender Rugged 511G, an IP67-rated 5G wireless WAN gateway that provides high-speed, secure connectivity to remote OT sites; and the FortiExtender Vehicle 511G, an IP64-rated 5G router designed for vehicles. Both solutions feature integrated Wi-Fi 6 and eSIM, eliminating the need for a physical SIM card and simplifying carrier selection.
Fortinet is also enhancing its AI-powered SecOps capabilities for OT. Enhancements to FortiAnalyzer 7.6 and FortiDeceptor 6.1 provide greater threat insights and simplify compliance reporting for OT security teams. Updates to FortiNDR Cloud add support for new OT protocols to enhance threat hunting, while FortiNDR (on-premises) integrates new features such as Purdue-based visibility, OT device inventory, and Mitre ATT&CK ICS Matrix to optimize monitoring.
Fortinet's OT Security Platform provides unified visibility and security to manage entire OT systems and remote locations, simplifying and empowering customers to easily assess, protect, and report risks, especially in compliance with complex regulations.
Fortinet is the only company to offer seamless segmentation and a portfolio of industry-standard OT security solutions powered by a single operating system – FortiOS. Deep integration with the Fortinet Security Fabric makes the OT Security Platform the industry’s most comprehensive solution, delivering the most efficient, optimized, and comprehensive solution for OT security and regulatory compliance that exceeds industry standards.
