The Fortinet Security Fabric brings together the concepts of convergence and consolidation to provide comprehensive cybersecurity protection for all users, devices, and applications and across all network edges protecting IP and sensitive data throughout the network.
Watch Now
Aging OT infrastructures are not uncommon in the pharmaceutical industry. The convergence of IT and OT networks expands the network attack surface. As pharmaceutical businesses look to converge these networks there is a need to ensure the entire network ecosystem is protected. Fortinet provides an integrated security infrastructure for visibility, control, and contextual awareness of network devices.
Read the Solution Brief
Innovations in science and technology have led to the growth of more technological advanced medical devices and the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) which have also increased the threat attack surface for manufacturers and healthcare organizations. Cybersecurity planning and governance is necessary to ensure medical devices and patient safety are protected.
