Fortinet Addresses the Cybersecurity Challenges Inherent to CSP's Digital Transformation at Mobile World Congress 2018

Demonstrations and presentations on Agile, Advanced and Mobile Security, at Fortinet’s booth #91, Hall 7

Dubai, UAE, January 25, 2018: Fortinet, a global leader in broad, integrated and automated cybersecurity, will participate in Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain on February26th - March 1st, 2018. Fortinet willshowcase solutions addressing the cybersecurity challenges inherent to digital transformation for Communication Service Providers and their customers. Fortinet will show its strong expertise, solutions,leadership and commitment to the CSP industry with daily demonstrations and presentations. These will be presented around three zones on:

Agile Security: Agility and automation are the keystones for empowering Digital Transformation for Communication Service Providers, MSSPs and their customers. As a foundation for all services, security must integrate in these agile and automated ecosystems.

This zone will provide several demos delivering:

o    Security Zero-Touch deployment, service delivery and customer self-service in an NFV environment

o    A secure SD-WAN solution

o    A security service in a TOSCA-based Orchestration NVF environment

Advanced Security:CSPs and MSSPs are looking to provide their customers with advanced security services and visibility to provide value add, increase customer’s stickiness and generate new and additional revenue streams. Better insight and understanding of threats and risks can be provided to customer via Fortinet’s Threat Intelligence Services (TIS) while providing security solution for the Operational Technology (OT) and IoT ecosystems is a growing market and opportunity for new services and revenue streams.

This zone will provide several demos presenting:

o    Active security for Industrial Control Systems (ICS)/SCADA.

o    Security services for IoT and the IoT ecosystem.

o    Threat Intelligence feeds and services integration and white labeling.

Mobile Security and Managed Security Services (MSS):5G holds the promise of reshaping services and driving innovation. With increased bandwidth, Multitenant Edge Computing and a multitude of innovative services, from high bandwidth connectivity to machine learning and AI, security has never played a more important role in mobile operator’s infrastructure – Securing LTE and the virtual infrastructure of mobile operators in 5G requires security that is powerful, scalable and agile.

As organizations and businesses of all sizes embark on Digital Transformation, the complexity and dynamic nature of the threat landscape and the security skill gap provide MSSPs an opportunity to provide more Managed Security Services (MSS) that add value and generate savings for their customers while securing their Digital Transformation evolution.

To do so, MSSP need to build a security-fabric infrastructure enabling the provision of a wider range of integrated and automated MSS in a variety of delivery and consumption modes to satisfy their customers’ requirements.

This zone will provide several demos including:

o    LTE and 5G mobile core security

o    Security service chaining

o    Fortinet Security Fabric-based MSS
