Security Consolidation
Justin Kallhoff, CEO, Infogressive
IT purchasing is undergoing rapid change. IT professionals concerned with network security are confronted by a constantly-evolving array of threats and increasing compliance requirements. Balancing your ability to manage these dynamic “threat-scapes” against other competing priorities, such as cost, limited data center space, manageability, and environmental concerns. The appetite for security consolidation is increasing and will change how you view and purchase technology.
Combining technologies such as IPS/IDS, Web Filtering, Application Control (e.g., IM, web 2.0 and P2P), Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam, VPN, Data Leakage, Traffic Shaping, and more, go far beyond replacing a firewall. This presentation discusses how network security consolidation utilizing Fortinet’s Unified Threat Management (UTM) platform can help you address these challenges and deliver more effective security, notable cost savings, and a smaller environmental footprint.
