This SOC offers seamless protection, early threat detection, and rapid response capabilities, giving your business the security it needs to operate confidently and efficiently. Here’s what that looks like for your organization:
- Continuous Monitoring with FortiGate Firewalls and FortiGuard: Using Fortinet’s FortiGate firewalls and FortiGuard threat intelligence, your SOC is always on, monitoring network traffic and identifying unusual behaviors. FortiGate firewalls provide the first line of defense, blocking malicious traffic before it even reaches your network.

- Automated Threat Responses: When common threats are detected, Fortinet’s solutions combined with ServiceNow automation take swift action, automatically blocking suspicious activity or quarantining infected files. This minimizes risk, eliminates human error, and ensures that minor issues are handled quickly and efficiently, without needing hands-on involvement.
- Streamlined Incident Response with FortiAnalyzer and ServiceNow: When a potential threat is detected, FortiAnalyzer collects and analyzes log data, offering insights into the nature of the threat. ServiceNow’s Security Operations module then categorizes and assigns the incident, ensuring rapid response by the right team members.
- Root Cause Analysis and Threat Hunting: ServiceNow’s incident response process, enhanced by Fortinet’s analytics and threat intelligence, helps your SOC team trace incidents back to their source.

This means the SOC team can efficiently manage IT and security operations from one place, optimizing productivity.
- Automated Patching and Updates with FortiManager: FortiManager and ServiceNow ITSM module automatically apply security updates and patches, keeping your systems secure without interrupting business activities. This reduces the risk of vulnerabilities going unaddressed, enhancing security while allowing your team to focus on other tasks.
