New FortiXDR Capabilities Offer Expanded Coverage

Organizations increasingly face challenges in effectively managing and securing the many disparate components of their digital environments, ranging from mobile devices to servers to cloud workloads. Additionally, while 95% of business leaders say they plan to consolidate vendors in the next 12 months to simplify daily operations, many enterprises still use multiple vendors to protect their assets. As a result, their threat detection, investigation, and response efforts remain fragmented, creating inefficiencies and slowing response times by already stretched staffing resources.

Although many organizations have a security information and event management (SIEM) solution to aggregate and analyze the telemetry from the various tools they use, security teams are often still forced to conduct manual remediation on independent consoles to mitigate events as they're identified. While the extensive use of AI and automation does shorten the life cycle of a data breach, it can still take security teams an average of 277 days to fully contain an incident.

Given these hurdles, many organizations are turning to extended detection and response (XDR) solutions like FortiXDR, which is built on the leading FortiEDR endpoint detection and response at the core to augment information sharing across the organization and add a layer of automated remediation capabilities.

Today, we're pleased to announce several enhancements to FortiXDR, including support for iOS and Android mobile devices as well as threat hunting for containers. These additions further solidify the power of the Fortinet Security Fabric platform and its ability to reduce the average time needed to detect and repair, all while tapping into existing data lakes without the need for replication.
