![]() This type of approach is absolutely critical to effective advanced threat protection. And finally, it must be automated and work as a single, cohesive system to keep pace with the changing and fast-moving threat landscape. Further, it is critical to have security components that are powerful enough to enable all the technologies appropriate at each protection point without slowing networks or employees. With so many potential ways for cyber criminals to gain entry into the dynamic enterprise, it is important to design and implement a security architecture that is broad enough to cover the entire attack surface. That's why Fortinet is pioneering a new approach to security, Fortinet Security Fabric, which includes specific components recommended to address today's advanced threats. Most importantly, regardless of whether the result of a volume-based or targeted attack, a recent Fortinet Threat Landscape publication reported that the average organization has been successfully compromised with more than six active bots communicating out to cyber criminals. ![]() Further, in Verizon's 2016 Data Breach Investigations Report, the malware at the heart of incidents lived for only 58 seconds or less and was seen only at the compromised organization in nearly all cases. ![]() Powered by a robust cybercrime ecosystem that includes a growing segment of "malware-as-a-service" providers, FortiGuard Labs saw more than 700,000 intrusion attempts by the close of 2016, with 120,000 pieces of malware and 25,000 spam messages - every minute of every day. At the same time, the threat landscape continues to evolve in regard to both volume and sophistication as cybercrime has achieved big business status and maturity. Whereas in the past there was a well-defined perimeter to secure, the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) following mobility and BYOD, as well as the continued adoption of public following widespread adoption of private cloud services, results in a much more diverse and dynamic attack surface to be protected. Securing today's enterprise is more challenging than ever.
