In the ever-evolving world of cybersecurity, email phishing is still a persistent ultimatum. Threat actors have long posed as trusted sources to target unsuspecting individuals through email and text messages, all in the quest to steal sensitive data.

Statistics from the Fortinet 2023 Global Ransomware Report highlight the effect of phishing as a top tactic, accounting for 56% of successful network infiltrations and ransomware attacks. 

Gone are the days of easily recognizable email phishing attempts with glaring errors in spelling and grammar. The advent of AI-driven content tools has ushered in a new era where cybercriminals use artificial intelligence to create more convincing text messages and email phishing. This sophistication raises the stakes, increasing the likelihood of users unknowingly clicking on malicious links.

In this era of AI-crafted communications, employee vigilance is crucial in defending organizations against potential breaches. Traditional methods of spotting phishing attacks are no longer sufficient to ensure safety. To bolster organizational security, it is paramount to invest in the right technologies, such as robust spam filters and multi-factor authentication. Equally important is the ongoing education of employees, as their awareness and actions can make all the difference in protecting organizations from the ever-evolving threats of phishing and ransomware.

Phishing: The Top Weapon in Ransomware Attacks

Recent findings shed light on a concerning reality: phishing still reigns supreme as the primary delivery method for ransomware. This choice by cyber attackers is not without reason, as it continues to yield alarming success rates. Statistics from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency reveal that a staggering 80% of organizations faced at least one incident where an employee was lured by a simulated phishing attempt.

Ransomware, a threat that knows no bounds in terms of industry or location, continues to plague businesses of all sizes. Despite 78% of business leaders believing they are well-prepared to obstruct ransomware attacks, the harsh truth is that half of them have fallen victim to such an attack within the past year.

Empower Your Workforce with Education Against Phishing

Safeguarding your enterprise from the ever-looming threat of ransomware begins with a well-informed workforce. Recognizing that most ransomware breaches enter through the gateway of phishing, employee education takes center stage. However, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to this endeavor; the key lies in tailoring the education to your unique organizational needs.

Fortinet gives some strategic services and programs that can serve as a solid foundation for a comprehensive employee security awareness initiative.

1. Security Awareness Training

Your employees are high targets for threat actors. To keep your organization safe, an ongoing cyber-awareness education program is important. Fortinet’s Security Awareness and Training Service, a SaaS-based solution, offers prompt and up-to-date awareness training on the latest security threats. This service enables IT, security, and compliance leaders to foster a culture of cyber-awareness, making employees more adept at recognizing and evading potential attacks. For organizations with compliance requirements, this service also aids in fulfilling regulatory and industry compliance training obligations. 

2. Phishing Simulation Services

Preparing your employees to identify malicious communications is a proactive approach to defense. FortiPhish Phishing Simulation Service conducts real-world simulations, allowing organizations to test and enhance user awareness and resilience against phishing threats. It equips users with the knowledge and skills to respond effectively when they suspect a phishing attack.

3. Free Fortinet Network Security Expert (NSE) Training

The Fortinet Training Institute offers free, self-paced NSE training modules. These modules empower users to find and shield themselves from various threat types, including phishing attacks. These resources can easily complement your existing internal training programs, reinforcing crucial concepts. Furthermore, Fortinet Authorized Training Centers (ATCs) supply instructor-led training, broadening access to the NSE curriculum on a global scale.

Stay One Step Ahead of Threat Actors Through Security Awareness Programs

As technology advances, so do the tactics of cybercriminals. They persistently explore new ways to exploit these innovations for their malicious agendas. In response, both security teams and every individual within organizations must heighten their vigilance against threats.

This underscores the importance of assessing and enhancing your existing cyber-awareness programs. The goal is to equip learners and employees with the latest, most pertinent knowledge, ensuring their ability to safeguard not only themselves but also the organizations invaluable data.

In the constantly changing sphere of cybersecurity, knowledge is your best defense.

Securing converged OT-IT networks with a security fabric

What is IT-OT Convergence?

Digital innovation requires operational technology systems to interact with information technology systems. OT network components like control systems, SCADA, and industrial networks are being connected to IT network components such as processors, storage, and systems management. Through this, the data collected by physical equipment and IIOT devices can be used to identify problems or increase efficiency.

 

OT is generally not secure, since it was originally designed with the assumption it would not be exposed to threats. The rise of remote access to OT networks by third-party vendors further expands the attack surface and creates new vulnerabilities.

Why OT Security is Critical:
3 Benefits of a Security Fabric

Any cybersecurity plan should include zero trust. Secure access is more important than ever as the number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices grows, the network perimeter fragments, and the new norm of working from anywhere emerges. Security solutions that can cover all locations are required in today’s evolving work and resource systems, and zero trust is necessary.

Companies must take a zero trust approach to security by deploying strong authentication capabilities, network access control technologies, and ubiquitous application access controls to secure systems, networks, applications, and data. When considering security products, look for ones that can provide traffic SSL decryption and zero-trust capabilities for both cloud-based and on-premises assets, internal segmentation, and control zones.

Concerns have recently been raised concerning firewalls’ ability to enable a zero-trust environment. That could be the case with some next-generation firewalls (NGFW). They’re not up to the task, especially in terms of performance if SSL decryption is enabled. However, it is a mistake to dismiss firewalls totally. You can use the extensive capabilities of an NGFW with zero-trust network access (ZTNA) to control access for everyone across an extended network, covering both cloud and on-premises-based applications. 

Fortinet NGFWs excel at supporting zero trust while also serving as part of a comprehensive cybersecurity solution for hybrid networks. No other firewall has ZTNA or bespoke security ASIC chips with SSL decryption hardware accelerators built in.

Here are the dangers companies will face if they would not deploy firewalls powered by zero trust.

Risks of Not Having Zero Trust Network Access

1. Growing Attack Surface

Networks are more spread than ever before, with more edges. The borders separating the home and the business workplace have eroded. This has provided cyberattackers with new, readily abused ways to gain access to corporate networks. Remote work also has a part in increasing the attack surface. Because home networks are frequently insecure, networks are subject to higher hazards.

Users and devices using zero trust are unable to access an application unless they supply the required authentication credentials. Zero trust hides apps behind a proxy server, allowing for a safe, encrypted connection. Zero trust connections are given to individual applications each session, unlike a standard VPN tunnel that offers unbounded access to the network and applications. Only once the device and the user have been validated is access permitted. Because, unlike with a VPN, location is no longer a reliable indicator of access, and ZTNA policy is implemented regardless of whether users are on or off the network.

2. Erratic Security

Users should be able to utilize ZTNA without having to think about it. It should function in the same way regardless of the user’s or applications’ actual location. Many firms, on the other hand, utilize different solutions to safeguard access for all employees. For remote workers, they may use a cloud-based zero trust solution, but for those on site, they would choose a different strategy. Using several products is inefficient, and it is also less secure since it adds complexity and reduces visibility. IT employees must deal with various policies in multiple locations and use multiple consoles or dashboards that aren’t integrated. Human mistake and misconfiguration are more likely due to the lack of central management.

User productivity is also harmed when accessing programs differs between working from the corporate office and working from home. Inconsistent access might lead to annoyance or confusion, especially if one of the products is difficult to use.

Zero trust should function in the same way regardless of where the applications or users are situated. Using a FortiGate to set up universal ZTNA ensures that policies and controls are consistent across all operating environments, including various clouds. Because ZTNA is incorporated into FortiOS, the same adaptive application access policy is utilized whether users are on or off the network. This connection with the Fortinet Security Fabric streamlines network management and visibility. ZTNA can be introduced in stages by simply altering parameters, allowing companies to start with a single network segment or certain zero-trust capabilities and gradually expand.

3. Heightened Costs and Complexity

Far too many companies treat network security as a mere add on, resulting in extra complexity and inadequate security postures. In a fragmented security environment, vital technologies like centralized administration, integrated networks, security operations center solutions, and AIOps cannot be deployed.

According to a Ponemon Institute survey, companies have installed more than 45 security solutions on average throughout their enterprises. Because these solutions function in silos, they contribute to network complexity by requiring frequent revisions to integration workarounds. In a Fortinet report, 82 percent of IT teams with ten or more security suppliers spend at least 30 percent of their time dealing with vendor complexity concerns. 

With a single access policy for all locations maintained centrally, the Fortinet ZTNA solution simplifies security. Because ZTNA enforcement is handled by a firewall, all firewall regulations can be applied to that traffic as well.

4. Lateral Threats

Cyberattackers that penetrate the network perimeter can easily travel laterally to locate important resources, sow malware, and disrupt business when networks are set up as a flat, open environment with no security inspection past the boundary. When perimeter-based VPNs are replaced with ZTNA’s zero-trust architecture, every person or device requesting access to a resource is verified before access is granted.

5. Insufficient Security

Although ZTNA is frequently connected with cloud application access, many firms do not use the cloud for all of their apps. Users need access to cloud applications, but they also need access to programs that are hosted in a data center or a branch office. ZTNA should be utilized everywhere for complete security. It shouldn’t make a difference where the applications or users are. ZTNA’s presence ensures that policies and controls are consistent across all operational environments. ZTNA can’t be a cloud-only solution if it wants to be everywhere. ZTNA, which is built on a firewall, provides comprehensive coverage for all hosted sites, including SaaS applications.

The Right Zero Trust Solution

Although not all firewalls are made equal, having a FortiGate is the first step toward ZTNA everywhere. Fortinet employs the client-initiated ZTNA architecture, which creates a secure tunnel using an agent on a device. A Fortinet infrastructure can be made into the newest part of a zero-trust architecture using FortiOS version 7.0 and above. ZTNA capabilities are used in FortiGate NGFWs and FortiClient endpoint protection, allowing for easier management. Because ZTNA is incorporated into FortiOS, the same adaptive application access policy is utilized whether users are on or off the network.

Management and visibility throughout the network are easier because the ZTNA components are tightly integrated into the Fortinet Security Fabric. Organizations may develop zero-trust strategies that function regardless of where their users, devices, or resources are located by starting with a firewall and integrating the other elements of the ZTNA solution under the cover of a single, integrated platform.

In the networking industry, wired and wireless local area network (LAN) infrastructure technologies have been around for quite some time now, and they have definitely stood the test of time.


However, Fortinet believes that there is always room for innovation. With that in mind, their vision for wired and wireless networking leverages Fortinet’s ground-breaking Security-Driven Networking approach and AIOps, which expand their LAN Edge solution beyond usual market offerings.


Fortinet particularly maximizes extensive, deployment-wide data for better outcomes. They break down technology silos for intelligent networking to diminish complexity, decrease costs, guarantee consistent user experiences, and strengthen security. 


In Security-Driven Networking, unified cybersecurity and control of the network edge are necessary. These get rid of security gaps and offer uncomplicated management. This method compels Fortinet to give built-in, base network access control (NAC) features at no extra cost. And with FortiAIOps, they can leverage the Security Fabric’s extensive data collection to offer exceptional artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) capabilities to lighten the weight on network operations teams.


Fortinet believes that this continuous motivation to build upon their Security-Driven Networking vision has given them the opportunity to be recognized as a Visionary in the 2021 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure for two years in a row.

Fortinet Networking Accomplishes Unique Services

Fortinet Security-Driven Networking is achieved through a platform approach, empowering Fortinet to present simplified operations with one interface and operating system (FortiOS). This provides centralized management, automation, and orchestration of not only the wired and wireless LAN edge.

 

The decrease in complexity is not confined to technology. Fortinet’s wired and wireless LAN solution goes against the popular trend of authorizing core features (and even operating systems) by offering fewer licenses with more function for clear-cut value.

 

Fortinet has a unique take on the LAN edge. They start by leveraging their FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) as a network controller. This integration is enabled through FortiLink, a protocol that combines Fortinet’s secure Ethernet and secure wireless access products and the Fortinet Security Fabric. FortiLink enables the FortiGate to immediately control, configure, and manage FortiAPs and FortiSwitches as if they were part of it. These Ethernet switches and Wi-Fi access points are intentionally engineered and designed to be part of the Fortinet Security Fabric.

Better secure access for remote users to applications anywhere

As users continue to work from anywhere and IoT devices flood networks and operational environments, continuous verification of all users and devices as they access corporate applications and data is needed.

 

To protect networks and applications, network administrators must implement a zero-trust access approach and provide the least access privileges.  Implementing zero-trust access includes requiring strong authentication capabilities, powerful network access control tools, and pervasive application access policies.

Why Fortinet?

The Fortinet Zero Trust Access (ZTA) framework uses a tightly integrated collection of security solutions that help organizations identify and classify all users and devices that seek network and application access.

Key Features:

Identity and Access Management

Identify and verify users entering the network with high reliability. Secure authentication technology is critical in the implementation of an effective security policy—many of today’s most damaging security breaches have been due to compromised user accounts and passwords. These threats have been exacerbated by users with inappropriate levels of access.

Remote Access and Application Access

Applying the zero-trust security model to application access makes it possible for organizations to move away from the use of a traditional virtual private network (VPN) tunnel that provides unrestricted access to the network. Zero-trust network access (ZTNA) solutions grant access on a per-session basis to individual applications only after devices and users are verified. This ZTNA policy is also applied when users are on the network, which provides the same zero-trust model no matter the user’s location.
