In Episode 3 in our series "Navigating NIS2 Compliance with Fortinet SecOps" we propose a holistic approach to the alignment of an organization’s people, processes and technology within the appropriate risk framework and map each requirement to suggested Fortinet solutions and services.

NIS2 Technology Stack: A Holistic Approach Using the Fortinet Cybersecurity Platform

Practitioners working in and supporting critical infrastructures around the world are seeing increasing regulations, reports of adversarial targeting, and business demands for increased connectivity to process data. Support teams need to work together now more than ever to enable the business and defend essential systems. While there are guiding principles for each organization to consider in project prioritization and program implementation approaches, there is no one “right” way for all organizations, no silver bullet device or software solution to procure. This talk will highlight three areas for attendees to consider as they examine the challenges within their organization and work to shape their best path forward:

> Drivers and constraints around IT and OT complimentary organizational and technology design (It’s not all just ‘T’),
> Immediate, near term, and future capital project and O&M planning time horizon considerations (Risk lens and balancing act),
> Necessity of operationalizing cybersecurity capabilities to ensure system reliability, integrity, and safety (using your information, to inform operators).

Navigating OT Security: First Steps and Best Practices

Planning for the inevitable and preparing for potential threats and attacks is a critical component of any security strategy. The challenge lies in defending against issues that are not yet visible, especially with emerging technologies like AI.

Learn how advisory services come into play, offering a range of specialized services designed to:
- Provide visibility into your attack surface and risk exposure
- Enhance your readiness and resilience
- Mitigate the impact of an incident

Revolutionizing Application Security: From Complexity to Clarity

Convergence and digital transformation are driving OT environments and use cases at an accelerated rate. This session will focus on the key factors and cybersecurity challenges this evolution entails.

From Operational Technology (OT) to CPS: Evolution, Challenges, and Solutions

There is a philosophical difference of opinion in the market regarding where security should be located - on-premises or in the cloud? Regardless of your organization’s point of view, the choice of SD-WAN should be able to accommodate both options. 
This session from Fortinet’s Convergence 2024 event focuses on the evolution of functionality of Fortinet’s SD-WAN and how it supports both environments equally.

SD-WAN or Secure SD-WAN- Which is the Right Option for Your Organization?

From introduction to mainstream acceptance in only 5 years, SASE as a replacement for VPN remote access is well entrenched.  But SASE needs to be more than just a remote access replacement, it needs to continuously evolve to keep up with market demands and use cases.  

This session from Fortinet’s Convergence 2024 event focuses on how Unified SASE is embracing the concepts of Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment to drive it forward in a competitive market.

Keeping Up with Unified SASE

The first webinar in our new series "Navigating NIS2 Compliance with Fortinet SecOps" gives an overview of what you need to know about NIS2. 
This includes the full scope of NIS2 and its implications for your organization, which technologies and solutions can help you achieve and maintain compliance, how to integrate NIS2 compliance into your security operations processes, and how to achieve a measurable 99% boost in operational efficiency and risk reduction through minimized MTTR and MTTD.

Unified Threat Response: Your Journey to an AI-Powered SOC

With as much as 95% of new digital workloads expected to be on cloud platforms in the coming year, securing application traffic into, out of and with the cloud is a major concern. This is particularly true as organizations by design or by chance develop systems that span clouds and data centers. To succeed in the complex world of cloud security, it is essential to consider an integrated security platform that adapts to cloud dynamics, simplifies and automates deployment, ensures seamless integration, and delivers comprehensive visibility across your entire cloud infrastructure. 

This session will cover cloud security considerations such as:   
- Common, but overlooked cloud risks 
- Solutions for securing cloud applications and networks 
- How Fortinet simplifies cloud risk management and delivers unified protection

Unifying Your Cloud: The Power of an Integrated Platform

Managing risks within Operational Technology can be challenging with multiple asset types, deployments, use cases, stakeholders and functional requirements. But when it comes to industrial systems, it is crucial to understand the entire operational technology (OT) environment. This includes the industrial control systems (ICS), the safety of the people and processes involved and the manufacturing processes.

Join this webinar to learn how you can:
• Go beyond basic infrastructure risk assessments to address the full spectrum of ICS/OT threats and vulnerabilities.
• Leverage Fortinet's industry-led services, tools, and techniques specifically designed for ICS/OT environments.
• Gain a clear understanding of your assets and deployment maturity, along with any proactive/reactive capabilities to minimize downtime and expedite recovery of normal operations.

Advance your OT Security Posture with Specialized OT Services

IT, OT, IoT, Cyber-Physical Systems. The names and use cases might have changed but the need for a consolidated cybersecurity approach has not. Whether manufacturing, utilities, or non-industrial critical infrastructure, these different environments share the same needs for comprehensive protection.
