Fortinet, the number one cybersecurity leader with more than 20 years of history protecting assets, optimizing content delivery, detecting malicious actors, and mitigating threats, saw a rising in the attacks targeting SAP systems. As these systems are one of the most critical assets of organizations, Fortinet decided to secure those landscapes.

 

By applying the Fortinet unified portfolio, organizations can have a consistent security framework for SAP across multiple locations and regions. The Fortinet Security Fabric, a broad, integrated, and automated cybersecurity framework, extends security policies from on-premises to the cloud and weaves together all operational and technical security facets, creating a consistent structure for the needs of the SAP security landscape.

 

As data is the new oil and SAP systems contain confidential data, Fortinet provides capabilities addressing the data's lineage, providing confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Fortinet capabilities in data loss prevention (DLP), preventing exfiltration of data, and integration with leading vendors as part of the Security Fabric create a unique value in data security, as it consolidates it in a single pane of glass.
