Florida, FL (prHWY.com) January 8, 2013 - Florida, Jan 08, 2013 - FortiGuard is a world-wide network of servers. The FortiGuard Distribution Network (FDN) of servers provides updates to antivirus, antispam and IPS definitions. Worldwide coverage of FortiGuard services is provided by FortiGuard service points. FortiGuard Subscription Services provide comprehensive Unified Threat Management (UTM) security solutions to enable protection against content and network level threats.

Fortinet employs people around the globe monitoring virus, spyware and vulnerability activities. As these various vulnerabilities are found, signatures are created and pushed to the subscribed FortiGate unit. The Global Threat Research Team enables Fortinet to deliver a combination of multi-layered security intelligence and provide true zero-day protection from new and emerging threats. FortiGuard services are continuously updated year round, 24x7x365.

The FortiGuard Vulnerability Management (VM) Service enables organizations to minimize the risk of vulnerabilities by quickly discovering vulnerabilities, measuring the potential risk, and then providing the information necessary to mitigate those risks. Additionally, a compliance reporting function provides organizations with actionable reports that can identify areas for remediation. These policies are continuously updated to ensure OS regulatory compliance requirements are met and releases are delivered via the FortiGuard global distribution network.

The Fortiguard Threat Monitor is an interactive tool which allows regional viewing of current, emerging threats for malware, vulnerabilities, botnets, spam and applications. Asset prioritization allows network security managers to focus on the items that will most effectively reduce risk on critical systems. Scan reports provide a link to an existing FortiOS IPS signature and a solution (whenever possible). Vulnerability signatures are automatically retrieved and applied to scan definitions. Device-based licensing eliminates per-user fees to significantly lower entry cost and ongoing maintenance costs. Hundreds of compliance policies are ready to use "out of the box" with regular FortiGuard updates. Compliance exposures are quickly identified on hosts, servers and throughout the network transparently to end-users.

Reduced errors, repeatable processes, and predictable results are delivered with extensive libraries of templates that enable IT staff to leverage industry standard best practices that produce measurable results.

The FortiGuard Network has data centers around the world located in secure, high availability locations that automatically deliver updates to the Fortinet security platforms to and protect the network with the most up-to-date information.
To ensure optimal response and updates, the FortiGate unit will contact a FortiGuard service point closest to the FortiGate installation, using the configured time zone information.
