This latest partnership combines Fortinet’s comprehensive security protections with IBM’s world-class security expertise to provide enhanced value to customers through the delivery of advanced protection and support against today’s sophisticated cyberthreats, across on-premise and multi-cloud environments.

• Leveraging the Fortinet Security Fabric provides mutual customers with the broad visibility, integrated threat intelligence, and automated response required for today’s digital businesses. In addition, the Security Fabric’s integrated threat intelligence services assist businesses with determining where to best prioritize resources based on threats seen across the entirety of an organization.

“Fortinet and IBM have a long-standing relationship, and today’s announcement marks another significant milestone towards protecting our mutual customers,” said John Maddison, senior vice president of products and solutions at Fortinet. “The Fortinet Security Fabric provides broad visibility across the digital attack surface, integrated detection of advanced threats, and automated response required to secure today’s digital businesses.
