How to Achieve Optimal Internal Segmentation with FortiGate NGFWs and the Fortinet Security Fabric

As network traffic shifts from corporate data centers to multiple clouds, attack surfaces are increasing exponentially. Internet of Things (IoT), mobile-first, and other digital transformation (DX) initiatives are adding to network vulnerabilities.
To protect their digital assets, network engineering and operations leaders need to go beyond perimeter-based network security to implement a defense-in-depth strategy with Internal Segmentation. This involves defining security zones inside the network—and policies controlling access to those zones—based on business logic.
Through integration with multiple verified trust assessment sources, the Security Fabric establishes and maintains accurate trust levels for users, devices, and applications.
