Fortinet FortiAnalyzer

Real-Time Blended Threat Management with Reporting, Logging, Alerting and Content Archiving

Knowledge is Power

To meet the growing demand for Web-enabled applications and new IP-based services, such as multimedia messaging, voice over IP (VoIP), and video on demand (VOD), Enterprise networks are rapidly expanding and dramatically growing in complexity. As a result, monitoring and enforcing acceptable use policies, identifying and blocking new blended security threats, and complying with emerging governmental regulations requires sophisticated logging and reporting capabilities. Both real-time and historical views of network usage and security information are essential for discovering and addressing vulnerabilities across dispersed networks and user groups. The ability to capture network event, usage and content information for forensic purposes, and to comply with governmental regulations regarding privacy and disclosure of security breaches, is absolutely critical. Network and security administrators need a comprehensive set of logging and reporting tools that provide the knowledge required to implement a complete multi-layered security solution.

Knowledge is the Key to Dynamic Security Management

Security threats are becoming much more dynamic with attacks now being launched only days after the announcement of a vulnerability and spreading rapidly to their intended targets. Businesses must immediately recognize new vulnerabilities or attacks and implement protective measures before the damage is done. FortiAnalyzer is a critical tool providing not only granular logging and reporting but providing discovery, analysis and reports to block or mitigate threats. A Forensic Analysis tool captures information on user activities and provides detailed usage reports while a Vulnerability Analysis tool can automatically detect un-patched servers and hosts. Seamless integration with FortiManager provides a complete security management solution across your network.

Centralized Logging & Reporting with FortiAnalyzer Integration for Complete Knowledge and Control

	Security Reporting—Security Management FortiAnalyzer is a centralized solution to the logging and reporting challenges in today’s complex and dynamic security environments. Implemented on scalable, high-performance platforms. FortiAnalyzer captures granular information across the entire range of security threats, not just the Firewall or IPS elements, and delivers the information in reports that are easy to configure, understand and use.
	Understanding the Dynamic Security Environment Not only are the security threats more complex in today’s business environment, but new regulatory, compliance and legal mandates also require businesses to not only understand activities on their networks but to proactively implement and enforce such regulatory requirements and to be responsible for acceptable use policies. FortiAnalyzer provides hundreds for standard reports as well as the ability to fully customize reports to unique business needs. Reports can be tailored to and delivered in the exact formats needed based on user requirements. Profile-based Administration allows unique access privileges and rights to be assigned to different users based on requirements and needs.
	Content Logging & Data Mining Network wide log aggregation and archiving is critical to identifying security threats and managing network usage. In addition to in-depth, real-time logging and reporting, FortiAnalyzer enables detailed content logging of user activities and network traffic. Activity can be monitored in real-time or logged, archived and later mined as needed. Activity be tracked by user, protocol, source, destination, etc., and the actual content exchanged in a session can be captured. Not only is content logging critical in order to implement regulatory mandates such as HIPAA and SOX compliance but absolutely required to enforce acceptable use policies and to protect valuable corporate assets and intellectual property.
