Fokus på Secure Networking, Universal SASE og Security Operations markeder, herunder strategiske R&D- og GTM-investeringer, som vil fremskynde Fortinets globale forretningsudvidelse.

Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT), én af verdens største cybersikkerhedsvirksomheder, har offentliggjort, at man skærper sit forretningsfokus for at prioritere differentierede markeder med høj vækst. Med virkning fra 2. november 2023 vil virksomhedens forsknings- og udviklingsstrategi (R&D) og go-to-market (GTM) blive organiseret omkring tre markeder: Secure Networking, Universal SASE og Security Operations. Denne udvikling understreger og bekræfter virksomhedens forpligtelse til at levere værdi til sine kunder og fremme en innovationskultur.

"Gennem vores over 20-årige historie har Fortinets engagement i kontinuerlig udvikling gjort det muligt for os at forblive på forkant med innovation, der hjælper vores kunder med at beskytte deres infrastruktur og data," siger Ken Xie, grundlægger, bestyrelsesformand og administrerende direktør hos Fortinet. "I løbet af den periode fortsætter vores grundlæggende principper om konvergerende netværk og sikkerhed, med en konsolidering af produkter i én integreret platform at give genlyd på tværs af nutidens cybersikkerhedsmarked. Når vi ser fremad, er vi overbeviste om, at dette er det rigtige tidspunkt at fokusere vores aktiviteter omkring Secure Networking, Universal SASE og Security Operations."

Fortinets eksisterende portefølje af integrerede og organisk udviklede it-sikkerhedsprodukter og -tjenester har en klar konkurrencefordel inden for disse tre kritiske markeder, som gør teknologi til hjørnestenen i det strategiske skifte.

  • Secure Networking-markedet forventes at vokse med næsten 9 procent årligt til 86 milliarder dollars i 2027. Markedet består primært af netværksfirewalls, sikre switche, adgangspunkter og 5G-gateways. I takt med, at Fortinets firewall-forretning vokser, forventes omsætningen for tilknyttede AI-drevne FortiGuard Security Services også at vokse. Som Fortinets største marked - og et, hvor Fortinet er førende målt på både firewall-salg og antal afsendte enheder – forbliver Secure Networking-markedet en væsentlig del af Fortinets forretningsstrategi.

  • Universal SASE-markedet forventes at vokse næsten 20 procent årligt til 36 milliarder dollars i 2027Det omfatter SD-WAN, SWG, CASB, DLP, ZTNA, SASE og andre cloud-native netværks- og sikkerhedsteknologier designet til at forenkle implementeringen af en Zero Trust-strategi. Fortinet er det eneste it-sikkerhedsfirma med en SASE-løsning, der kan udføre alle funktioner i skyen eller via en applikation. Alt sammen understøttet via ét fælles operativsystem inkl. netværks- og -sikkerhedsstak samt administrationskonsol. Fortinet blev for nylig inkluderet i 2023 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Single-Vendor SASE.

  • Security Operations-markedet (SecOps) forventes at vokse lidt over 14 procent årligt til 78 milliarder dollars i 2027. Fortinets SecOps-platform er den mest omfattende, integrerede og bredeste i branchen, og leverer EDR, SIEM, SOAR, NDR samt yderligere integrerede cybersikkerhedsteknologier, der hjælper organisationer med at få kontrol og indsigt i deres distribuerede operationer.


Fortinet er unikt positioneret til at levere Secure Networking, Universal SASE og Security Operations-løsninger som integrerede platforme understøttet af AI-drevne teknologier, samlet administration, førende trusselintelligens og et af de største åbne økosystemer inden for it-sikkerhedsbranchen.

Operationelle teknologisystemer (OT) adskiller sig væsentligt fra traditionelle it-systemer; med derfor vil Fortinet fortsætte med at levere OT-specifikke sikkerhedsfunktioner på tværs af alle tre områder samt levere OT-tilpassede InfoSec-værktøjer, trusselintelligens og integration med tredjeparts OT-løsninger for at reducere risikoen og effektivt sikre OT-miljøer.

I forbindelse med at Fortinet tilpasser teknologiinvesteringerne, fortsætter Fortinet med at drive sin brancheførende innovationsmotor gennem en kultur, der tilskynder og belønner nytænkning. Tilgangen har allerede resulteret i 949 amerikanske industripatenter - over dobbelt som mange som den nærmeste cybersikkerhedskonkurrent. Tilpasningen af Fortinets R&D-investeringer har allerede resulteret i følgende store produktlanceringer og forbedringer i 2023:

  • Secure Networking: Fortinet gjorde betydelige fremskridt inden for netværkssikkerhed især med udviklingen af NGFW til Hybrid Mesh Firewall. Fortinet introducerede Security Processor 5 (SP5) ASIC for at fremskynde netværk og sikkerhedskonvergens på tværs af netværkskanter med introduktionen af nye FortiGate 90G-, FortiGate 120G- og FortiGate 900G-apparater med højere ydeevne. ASIC'er fortsætter med at fremvise Fortinets dedikation til bæredygtighed og giver kunderne strømeffektive produkter med et mindre fodaftryk for at minimere miljøpåvirkningen.  En Forrester Total Economic Impact (TEI) analyse viser betydelig ROI og tilbagebetaling for virksomhedsdatacentre, der bruger FortiGate-apparater med FortiGuard AI-drevne sikkerhedstjenester implementeret som en Hybrid Mesh Firewall. Fortinet annoncerede også nye switche, der leverer en intelligent, skalerbar forbindelse, som problemfrit integreres med AIOps for at forenkle netværksdriften.

  • Universal SASE: Fortinet introducerede nye løsninger på tværs af SD-WAN og SSE for at sikre sikker adgang for hybride arbejdsstyrker på tværs af internettet, SaaS og private applikationer. I 2023 udvidede Fortinet sin netværksrækkevidde til over 100 globale placeringer gennem strategiske partnerskaber med udbydere som Google Cloud og investeringer i Fortinets egne SASE-lokationer. Disse innovationer prioriterer samlet administration og end-to-end digitale løsninger, hvilket muliggør automatiseret drift og netværkssynlighed for Fortinet-kunder. For eksisterende SD-WAN-klienter gjorde Fortinet problemfri integration muligt med FortiSASE for at give en sikker privat adgang til en bredere vifte af applikationer. Fortinet introducerede også forbedringer på tværs af ZTNA, DLP og inline-CASB, hvilket styrker Fortinets forpligtelse til at støtte kunder i at opnå en Zero Trust-sikkerhedsstilling for alle applikationer og data. Derudover, udvidede Fortinet for nylig sin fleksible forbrugsmodel ved hjælp af FortiFlex for at udvide AI-drevne sikkerhedstjenester på tværs af nutidens hybridmiljøer.

  • Security Operations: I 2023 annoncerede Fortinet forbedringer på tværs af sin sikkerhedsoperationsportefølje for at introducere strammere integration og forbedre sin evne til at automatisere detektion og respons, hvilket fremskynder detektion- og håndtering af sikkerhedsbrud. Væsentlige opdateringer omfattede nye AI- og maskinlæringsfunktioner og yderligere respons- og automatiseringsfunktioner i realtid for at forbedre effektiviteten, øge effektiviteten og fremskynde responstiden for løsningen af sofistikerede it-angreb. Udover ny teknologi blev en række services også udvidet. Herunder SOC-as-a-Service, for at forbedre færdighederne og effektiviteten hos SecOps-medarbejdere og -processer. 


Fortinets investeringer i forskning og udvikling suppleres af et strategisk skifte i Fortinets GTM-investeringer, der ligeledes vil være centreret omkring Secure Networking, Universal SASE og Security Operations. Salget vil blive organiseret omkring disse tre strategiske områder, muliggjort af uddannelse og marketingstøtte, for at sikre forbedret markedsindtrængning og forbedret kundeengagement.
