There is already a general understanding on the need for cybersecurity across all industries, Fortinet regional business development manager C.P. Wong said in an exclusive interview with Newsbytes.PH at the CXO Innovation Summit hosted by VST ECS in Boracay island, Aklan.
Across several industries, from manufacturing to retail and services, aggressive digital acceleration strategies have reinvented how enterprises create value for customers.
As the digital landscape in the Philippines continues to evolve, a large chunk of enterprise attack incidents are still being proliferated through malicious links and attachments embedded in emails.
Organizations taking a digital leap are more vulnerable to cyber-based threats, said cybersecurity firm Fortinet in a recent webinar on the importance of cybersecurity mesh architecture (CSMA).
For the incoming new year, cybersecurity solutions provider Fortinet said it is anticipating the focus of exploits falling on work-from-anywhere setups, 5G-enabled edge, and satellite Internet off-planet.
Fortinet’s semi-annual FortiGuard Labs Global Threat Landscape Report also shed light on the volume of ransomware activity of this year compared to last year, which ha snow grown by tenfold. These attacks are targeting supply chains of multiple organizations and are affecting critical infrastructure and productivity.
Fortinet, a cybersecurity firm that specializes in cybersecurity solution integration and automation, has been recognized as one the Leaders for Gartner’s 2020 Magic Quadrant for WAN Edge Infrastructure. In the country, Fortinet was chosen by third telco player Dito Telecommunity last month.
According to Fortinet, the dawn of the “new normal” and modified working conditions of many organizations around the world has made the amalgamation of integrated security, routing, and software-defined WAN in one appliance, more appealing.
