Ken Xie, founder, chairman of the board, and chief executive officer of Fortinet, addressed the media via this message: “Pervasive digitization continues to redefine business, while technology trends like Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing are blurring the edges of the network today. Unfortunately, many enterprises continue to rely on security strategies developed decades ago that can no longer support the ever-increasing speed of business. Unlike platforms loosely coupled at the management level, the security fabric weaves together highly sophisticated hardware and software, enabling direct communication between solutions for a unified rapid response to threats. With its Security Fabric, Fortinet is the only vendor to be able to provide its customers with seamless protection across the expanding attack surface, and the power to take on ever increasing performance requirements of the borderless network.
