I have written many times before about the importance of end-to-end security across all types of networks. With the state of security today, protecting your data at all points on the network is crucial. Well Fortinet recently just introduced a new vulnerability management solution for medium to large corporate businesses. It is called the FortiScan-1000B. It helps businesses maintain security across their network by integrating all the crucial points in a network security policy. It integrates the following features: industry and federal compliance, endpoint vulnerability management, network-level vulnerability management, and patch management and remediation.
In 2008 Fortinet purchased the security company named Secure Elements. They’ve used the assets from this purchase to leverage technology in the new FortiScan-1000B. It uses the software solution from Secure Elements as the basis for its new solution. It also uses the vulnerability scanning feature from its own FortiAnalyzer solution. These features help security administrators stay compliant with SOX, PCI-DSS, GLBA, HIPAA, etc.
