全方位整合與自動化網路資安領導廠商 Fortinet®(NASDAQ:FTNT)旗下FortiGuard Labs威脅情資中心今(12)日公布《2025全球資安威脅預測》。報告指出,威脅者將採用更大規模、更大膽的手法,將其攻擊鏈專業化、強化特定攻擊環節,同時發展更具針對性、更複雜的結合虛實世界的攻擊劇本。此外,由於組織上雲趨勢,威脅者也將聚焦關注雲端環境、利用更多相關漏洞,自動化駭客工具也已進入暗網市場,預期將為其網路犯罪即服務(Cybercrime-as-a-Service,CaaS)的強度、規模再提升。 Fortinet台灣區總經理吳章銘表示:「在AI技術發展的推波助瀾之下,網路犯罪手法持續演進。台灣企業組織處於威脅者關注熱區,更需正視組織全體資訊安全、積極採取行動。未來攻擊力道將不減反增,並以更多元化、複雜的形式出現,防禦方不僅要面對更專業化、更針對性的攻擊,更有涉及跨國犯罪和結合實體威脅的更複雜、大規模攻擊劇本,因此企業組織在每個環節的防禦強度提升更顯重要。除了運用AI驅動的安全營運提升防禦優勢,我們建議跨組織、產業和公私部門之間合作並擴及整體社會,才能確保資訊安全、提升集體韌性。」 《2025全球資安威脅預測》六大趨勢分析: 網路威脅者持續採用數十年來的「經典」攻擊戰術,2025年的威脅預測聚焦於網路犯罪者如何進一步擴大規模、更加大膽,以及提升其攻擊效率。從網路犯罪即服務(CaaS)組織逐漸走向專業化、到採用結合虛實世界威脅的複雜劇本,網路犯罪者正在全面提升攻擊手法,執行更具針對性、危害性的攻擊行動。預計在2025年以後將出現六大趨勢: 趨勢一、攻擊鏈專業化程度日漸增強:近年來,網路犯罪者逐漸將更多精力投注於攻擊前(Left of boom)的偵察與武器化階段,使其威脅行動更精準高效。過去,許多網路犯罪即服務(CaaS)組織提供全方位攻擊工具包,如網路釣魚套件與惡意軟體。然而,Fortinet預測這些組織將更專注於攻擊鏈中的某一環節,提供更專業化的服務。 趨勢二、雲端環境成攻擊新焦點:雖然邊緣設備仍是威脅者的主要目標,但雲端環境是另一個值得組織未來幾年內密切關注的攻擊面。雲端環境雖然並非新技術,但越來越多的網路犯罪者對其表現出濃厚興趣。由於大多數組織依賴多家雲端服務供應商,Fortinet觀察到攻擊者利用更多與雲端相關的漏洞,並預期這一趨勢在未來將持續增長。 趨勢三、自動化駭客工具進軍暗網市場:在當今網路犯罪即服務(CaaS)市場中,似乎有無窮的攻擊媒介、及相關程式碼可供選擇,例如網路釣魚工具包、勒索軟體即服務(Ransomware-as-a-Service)、分散式阻斷服務攻擊即服務(DDoS-as-a-Service)等。Fortinet已經看到一些網路犯罪組織以人工智慧(AI)來支持其服務,預期這一趨勢將更加蓬勃。攻擊者將利用大型語言模型(LLM)生成的自動化內容來強化其服務、擴大市場規模,例如將社群媒體偵查結果自動化,形成整合完善的網路釣魚工具包。 趨勢四、攻擊劇本「實境化」:網路犯罪者的攻擊劇本正持續改寫優化,使攻擊變得更具侵略性和破壞性。Fortinet預測他們將擴大行動範圍,將網路攻擊與現實生活中的威脅結合。目前我們已觀察到一些網路犯罪組織,在某些情況下對企業的高層和員工,進行涉及實體人身安全的威脅,並預估此種做法將成許多攻擊手法中的常見一環。此外,我們也預測,毒品走私、人口或貨物的非法運輸等跨國犯罪將成為更常見的複雜攻擊手法之一,網路犯罪組織與跨國犯罪集團之間的合作將越來越頻繁。 趨勢五、拓展反制對手框架:面對不斷演變的威脅策略,網路安全社群也需同步進化,以應對威脅。推動全球合作、建立公私部門合作夥伴關係,以及開發應對威脅的框架,對於增強集體韌性至關重要。目前已有許多相關行動正在推進,例如由Fortinet作為創始成員之一所參與的「世界經濟論壇網路犯罪地圖(Cybercrime Atlas)」計畫。預計未來將有更多此類協作或倡議出現,以有效打擊網路犯罪。 趨勢六、防禦方能贏得平均回應時間(Mean-Time-to-Respond, MTTR)賽局:隨著機器學習(ML)與人工智慧(AI)技術的普及,防禦方戰術也正迅速提升,更有機會在與攻擊者的軍備競賽中勝出。根據我們最新發現,漏洞被利用的平均時間僅有4.76天,這比之前觀察到的加快了43%,因此,防禦者必須比以前反應得更快。得益於AI技術,安全團隊正加強其即時偵測、分析和回應的能力與速度。我們預測將有更多組織整合AI技術至其網路安全平台,以處理大量資料、快速識別模式與異常行為,並自動化日常任務。 組織需提升集體韌性,迎接不斷演變的威脅形勢 網路犯罪者總會找到新方法來滲透組織。但透過網路安全社群之間的合作,可以更精準預測威脅者的下一步行動,並有效地中斷其行動。整個產業的共同努力、與公私部門合作的重要性不容忽視,我們預期未來將有越來越多組織參與這些協作。 此外,組織也需謹記資安是每個人的責任,而不僅僅是安全和IT團隊的工作。例如,推動整個企業組織內的安全意識與訓練,也是風險管理的重要一環。最後,其他相關單位,包括從政府、到我們所仰賴的安全產品製造商,也有責任推廣、並堅實遵守資安實踐。沒有任何單一組織或安全團隊,能獨自打擊網路犯罪。透過合作與跨產業情資分享,整個生態系可以更有效地共同應對威脅者的挑戰,並全面性地保護整個社會。
全方位整合與自動化網路資安領導廠商 Fortinet®(NASDAQ:FTNT)今(1)日發布年度《2024資安意識和全球培訓研究報告》(2024 Security Awareness and Training Global Research Report),強調具資安意識的員工,在降低與管控組織風險上有關鍵的影響力。為了協助企業組織在人工智慧(AI)世代做好最佳資安準備,Fortinet台灣年度資安盛會2024資安嘉年華將於11月20至21日盛大舉行,以邁入平台時代為宗旨,分享AI驅動的資安方案顛覆傳統策略模式如何帶領產業展開無邊界的安全防護網。活動亦將邀請AIT商務官薄康霖和國家資通安全研究院院長何全德共同探討國際上公部門的資安處境,以及AI可以開創的新際遇。 Fortinet台灣區總經理吳章銘表示:「隨著威脅者利用AI等新科技提升攻擊手段,員工成為第一線的堅強防禦已日漸重要。Fortinet的最新研究結果凸顯建立資安文化的重要性,除強調組織內部需加強資安意識和推廣相關培訓,更強化Fortinet屢獲殊榮的網路安全培訓服務在的重要性。Fortinet除了持續幫助客戶建立完善的資安意識培訓,更為全台灣的產業夥伴、師資和校園提供免費的資安培訓,今年全台已有4500位學生受益。Fortinet期許培養更多扎根於產業中的人才和下一代的莘莘學子,以全力強化台灣的資安韌性。」 AI攻擊將擊潰沒有足夠資安意識的企業組織,導入培訓計畫是當務之急 Fortinet《2024資安意識和全球培訓研究報告》有三大重要發現,包括: l 網路攻擊正利用AI提升攻擊數量和速度,而領導者認為員工更難發現這些威脅。有超過60%的受訪者認為,AI賦能的攻擊將讓員工更難以察覺。但好消息是,80%的受訪者表示公司組織若了解AI強化攻擊的風險,將更能接受安排與投資資安意識培訓。 l 員工可以成為組織的第一道防線,但仍有70%的領導者,擔憂員工缺乏資安意識。這一比例相較2023年調查的56%增長許多。 l 大多數的領導者皆認知到資安意識培訓的重要性,並肯定特定性質的訓練計畫更具效率。超過四分之三的領導者有意安排資安意識培訓,約有34%計劃月度訓練、47%計劃季度訓練,且他們認為內容質量將影響訓練成功與否。 身為企業組織的第一道防線,員工如何面對各樣新型威脅將左右企業的資安防禦準備 自從網路犯罪者開始採用AI,網路釣魚攻擊越來越難辨識出破綻。因為這類郵件更容易直接鎖定個人使用者,企業組織更應該培訓員工,如何識別危險和避免受害。 l 終端使用者是主要的攻擊目標。2023年80%以上的企業組織曾遭遇到瞄準個人使用者的惡意軟體攻擊、網路釣魚攻擊、和密碼潑灑攻擊。 l 隨著攻擊型態的日異變遷,資安意識的提升顯得更加重要。96%的受訪者表示,公司內部的管理階層支持員工參與資安意識培訓。 l 幾乎所有受訪者(98%)表示,他們參與的培訓計畫中包含如何防範網路釣魚攻擊,其他的訓練重點項目包括資訊安全(48%)和隱私安全性(41%)。 雖然資安與IT團隊對於保護公司組織至關重要,但一般員工在預防攻擊者入侵上,也是不可或缺的角色。 l 大多數的領導者(86%)認為,員工對於資安意識培訓抱持著開放的態度。 l 高達89%的領導著表示,企業組織在實施資安意識培訓後,有助於安全防護能力的提升。 資安訓練內容和時數影響資安意識培訓的效果 大多數企業組織依據產業中的風險威脅、或是過往的受駭經驗,因此推動資安意識培訓。幾乎所有的決策者(96%)表示,領導團隊支持導入相關訓練以提升員工的資安意識。依據2024年的調查,高達97%的領導者認為增加員工對於資安的敏感度,能強化企業組織的資安準備程度,而受訪者也的確認為特定性質的訓練計劃更有效果。 l 引人入勝的訓練內容非常重要。86%的決策者滿意現有的資安意識培訓,不滿意者則認為是導因於缺乏吸引人的內容。 l 訓練時間的長短也是需納入考慮。太冗長的訓練時間將導致員工學習疲勞,通常建議一至兩小時是最合適的時數,但三小時為平均。 Fortinet資安意識培訓服務,助力打造全方位網路安全團隊 只要發生一次漏洞事件,就可能對企業帶來重大影響。因此,建立三重防禦策略至關重要。企業的資安策略須包含培訓員工資安的意識、提升IT與資安部門的網路安全技術,以及完善企業資安安全的解決方案。 資安意識培訓除了教導員工面對威脅時的應對方法,也能在企業內部建立基本的網路意識觀念。Fortinet提供的資安意識培訓服務,致力於幫助企業培養具備網路安全意識的團隊。此服務由Fortinet培訓學院的世界級培訓專家打造,內容涵蓋廣泛主題且能客製化,並透過定期提醒與檢驗,提升學習成效。企業還能夠追蹤員工的學習進度,以達到網路保險與合規需求。 為了因應企業組織在未來可能面臨的資安困境,Fortinet不僅致力於企業組織內部員工的資安意識培訓,更將於於11月20、21兩日於台北松山文創園區舉行2024資安嘉年華,聚焦AI時代下的資安威脅現狀,以及邀集多位產業夥伴分享如何導入新型資安解決方案。期待為各產業的工程師、專業人士、顧問和部門負責人,在這個瞬息萬變的時代下找到最合適的資安策略。

FTNT-F Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding any indications related to future growth and market share gains, our strategy going forward, and guidance and expectations around future financial results, including guidance and expectations for the third quarter and full year 2024, and any statements regarding our market opportunity and market size, and business momentum. Although we attempt to be accurate in making forward-looking statements, it is possible that future circumstances might differ from the assumptions on which such statements are based such that actual results are materially different from our forward-looking statements in this release. Important factors that could cause results to differ materially from the statements herein include the following: general economic risks, including those caused by economic challenges, a possible economic downturn or recession and the effects of inflation or stagflation, rising interest rates or reduced information technology spending; supply chain challenges; negative impacts from the ongoing war in Ukraine and its related macroeconomic effects and our decision to reduce operations in Russia, as well as the Israel-Hamas war; competitiveness in the security market; the dynamic nature of the security market and its products and services; specific economic risks worldwide and in different geographies, and among different customer segments; uncertainty regarding demand and increased business and renewals from existing customers; sales execution risks, including risks in connection with the timing and completion of large strategic deals; uncertainties around continued success in sales growth and market share gains; uncertainties in market opportunities and the market size; actual or perceived vulnerabilities in our supply chain, products or services, and any actual or perceived breach of our network or our customers’ networks; longer sales cycles, particularly for larger enterprise, service providers, government and other large organization customers; the effectiveness of our salesforce and failure to convert sales pipeline into final sales; risks associated with successful implementation of multiple integrated software products and other product functionality risks; risks associated with integrating acquisitions and changes in circumstances and plans associated therewith, including, among other risks, changes in plans related to product and services integrations, product and services plans and sales strategies; sales and marketing execution risks; execution risks around new product development and introductions and innovation; litigation and disputes and the potential cost, distraction and damage to sales and reputation caused thereby or by other factors; cybersecurity threats, breaches and other disruptions; market acceptance of new products and services; the ability to attract and retain personnel; changes in strategy; risks associated with management of growth; lengthy sales and implementation cycles, particularly in larger organizations; technological changes that make our products and services less competitive; risks associated with the adoption of, and demand for, our products and services in general and by specific customer segments, including those caused by competition and pricing pressure; excess product inventory for any reason, including those caused by the effects of increased inflation and interest rates in certain geographies and the war in Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war; risks associated with business disruption caused by natural disasters and health emergencies such as earthquakes, fires, power outages, typhoons, floods, health epidemics and viruses, and by manmade events such as civil unrest, labor disruption, international trade disputes, international conflicts such as the war in Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war or tensions between China and Taiwan, terrorism, wars, and critical infrastructure attacks; tariffs, trade disputes and other trade barriers, and negative impact on sales based on geo-political dynamics and disputes and protectionist policies; any political and government disruption around the world, including the impact of any future shutdowns of the U.S. government; and the other risk factors set forth from time to time in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), copies of which are available free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or upon request from our investor relations department. All forward-looking statements herein reflect our opinions only as of the date of this release, and we undertake no obligation, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update forward-looking statements herein in light of new information or future events. Non-GAAP Financial Measures We have provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial and liquidity measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and believe they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance. We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial results with peer companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures provided in the financial statement tables below. Billings (non-GAAP). We define billings as revenue recognized in accordance with GAAP plus the change in deferred revenue from the beginning to the end of the period less any deferred revenue balances acquired from business combination(s) during the period. We consider billings to be a useful metric for management and investors because billings drive current and future revenue, which is an important indicator of the health and viability of our business. There are a number of limitations related to the use of billings instead of GAAP revenue. First, billings include amounts that have not yet been recognized as revenue and are impacted by the term of security and support agreements. Second, we may calculate billings in a manner that is different from peer companies that report similar financial measures. Management accounts for these limitations by providing specific information regarding GAAP revenue and evaluating billings together with GAAP revenue. Free cash flow (non-GAAP). We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities minus purchases of property and equipment and excluding any significant non-recurring items. We believe free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that, after capital expenditures, can be used for strategic opportunities, including repurchasing outstanding common stock, investing in our business, making strategic acquisitions and strengthening the balance sheet. A limitation of using free cash flow rather than the GAAP measures of cash provided by or used in operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities is that free cash flow does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash and cash equivalents balance for the period because it excludes cash flows from significant non-recurring items, investing activities other than capital expenditures and cash flows from financing activities. Management accounts for this limitation by providing information about our capital expenditures and other investing and financing activities on the face of the cash flow statement and under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources” in our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K and by presenting cash flows from investing and financing activities in our reconciliation of free cash flow. In addition, it is important to note that other companies, including companies in our industry, may not use free cash flow, may calculate free cash flow in a different manner than we do or may use other financial measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of free cash flow as a comparative measure. Non-GAAP operating income and operating margin. We define non-GAAP operating income as operating income plus stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, less gain on intellectual property matter and, when applicable, other significant non-recurring items in a given quarter. Non-GAAP operating margin is defined as non-GAAP operating income divided by GAAP revenue. We consider these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful metrics for management and investors because they exclude the items noted above so that our management and investors can compare our recurring core business operating results over multiple periods. There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP operating income instead of operating income calculated in accordance with GAAP. First, non-GAAP operating income excludes the items noted above. Second, the components of the costs that we exclude from our calculation of non-GAAP operating income may differ from the components that peer companies exclude when they report their non-GAAP results of operations. Management accounts for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from non-GAAP operating income and evaluating non-GAAP operating income together with operating income calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP net income and diluted net income per share. We define non-GAAP net income as net income plus the items noted above under non-GAAP operating income and operating margin. In addition, we adjust non-GAAP net income and diluted net income per share for a non-cash charge of impairment on equity method investment, a tax adjustment required for an effective tax rate on a non-GAAP basis, which differs from the GAAP effective tax rate. We define non-GAAP diluted net income per share as non-GAAP net income divided by the non-GAAP diluted weighted-average shares outstanding. We consider these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful metrics for management and investors for the same reasons that we use non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin. However, in order to provide a more complete picture of our recurring core business operating results, we include in non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share, the tax adjustment required resulting in an effective tax rate on a non-GAAP basis, which often differs from the GAAP tax rate. We believe the non-GAAP effective tax rates we use are reasonable estimates of normalized tax rates for our current and prior fiscal years under our global operating structure. The same limitations described above regarding our use of non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin apply to our use of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share. We account for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share and evaluating non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share together with net income and diluted net income per share calculated in accordance with GAAP.

全方位整合與自動化網路資安領導廠商 Fortinet®(NASDAQ:FTNT)長期致力推動網路和安全融合,今(29)日發布《2024年資安技能落差報告》(2024 Cybersecurity Skills Gap Report)。報告針對台灣及來自全球共29個國家或地區,超過1,800位專業人士進行調查,這些受訪者包含來自科技業(21%)、製造業(15%)與金融業(13%)等業界中資安決策者。調查結果顯示,資安技能落差仍是多數企業組織需面臨的挑戰,越來越多企業組織將資料外洩事件歸因於資安技能落差,而相關事件持續對企業組織造成重大影響,管理高層也常因事件的發生遭究責懲處。隨著強化資安韌性成為企業組織的優先事項,資安培訓與認證持續受企業組織高度重視,作為驗證資安技能和知識的重要參考。同時企業組織也正積極多樣化招聘人才,以緩解資安技能落差問題。 Fortinet台灣區總經理吳章銘表示:「Fortinet最新資安技能落差報告調查,突顯了企業組織需要採取協作、多面向方法來縮小技能落差。為應對當今複雜的威脅、並降低風險,我們建議企業組織必須策略性整合和運用合適的資安技術,並透過培訓與認證提升現有安全專業人員的技能,並培養具備資安意識的人才。Fortinet承諾於2026年協助全球培訓100萬名資安人才,並持續深耕台灣資安人才培育,透過多元、面向不同族群如國中小、大專院校等的教育合作計畫,以及Fortinet培訓學院各類課程,助台灣企業組織縮小技能落差。」 Fortinet《2024年資安技能落差報告 》四大發現包括: 一、資安技能落差仍是全球主要挑戰,半數企業組織的管理高層因資安事件遭懲處 據國際資訊系統安全認證協會估計,全球仍有大約400萬名的資安人才缺口。同時,Fortinet調查發現,有七成企業組織表示資安技能落差為他們帶來的額外的風險。此外,近九成(87%)的企業組織領導者表示,他們經歷了部分歸因於資安技能不足的資料外洩事件,高於2023年報告中的84%和2022年的80%。值得關注的是,資料外洩對企業組織的影響也更大,造成財務、聲譽等不同挑戰。也越來越多公司領導層因網路安全事件而被究責,半數(51%)的受訪者表示,董事或高階主管在網路攻擊事件後,面臨罰款、刑責或失業等問題。 超過50%的受訪者也指出,2023年的資料外洩就使其企業組織損失超過100萬美元,含營收、罰款及其他費用。此外,企業組織董事會和管理高層也越來越重視網路安全,72%的受訪者表示,他們的董事會在2023年比前年更加注重資訊安全,更有97%的受訪者指出,其董事會已將資安視為優先業務。 二、近九成企業組織投資員工獲取資安認證,具備認證的求職者將脫穎而出 企業組織的領導層普遍重視與資安知識有關的認證,並且那些持有認證、或與持有認證者一起工作的員工,皆明顯感受到其所帶來的好處。Fortinet調查發現,持有資安相關認證的求職者在招募中更能脫穎而出,超過90%的受訪者傾向聘用擁有相關認證的求職者。他們也認為認證可以改善企業組織的安全態勢,89%的受訪者表示願意為員工支付獲取相關資安認證的費用。儘管如此,超過七成的受訪者認為,要找到具備資安技術認證的求職者並不容易。 三、業界求才若渴,超過八成企業組織訂定多樣化招聘目標 資安人才短缺問題持續存在,企業組織正多樣化招聘管道擴大人才庫,例如非傳統四年制相關領域學位來認定的資安背景的人才,以吸引新人才填補空缺。若企業組織願意支付員工後續的相關培訓與認證費用,改變這些招聘要求則可以開啟新的可能性。Fortinet調查也發現,超過八成(83%)受訪者表示,其企業組織已經規劃了近幾年的多樣性招聘目標。 然而多樣性招聘的情況每年仍有所不同,例如女性人數聘用比例從2022年的89%下降到85%、2021年則為88%;少數族裔的聘用比例與去年相同維持在68%、略高於2021年的67%;退伍軍人方面,則是從去年的47%略微上升到49%、但低於2021年的53%。值得一提的是,雖然多數受訪者表示其企業組織重視求職者是否具備相關認證,但有超過七成(71%)企業組織仍偏好聘用具備傳統認定的具相關專業學經歷背景的求職者,其中甚至超過六成(66%)企業組織只聘用這樣的人才。 四、透過資安培訓認證、意識提升與技術強化三管齊下,助企業組織縮短技能落差 面對代價高昂的網路攻擊與日俱增,以及董事會和管理高層可能面臨的責任或懲處,企業組織正積極強化其資安防禦。Fortinet建議企業組織應專注資安人才培訓、資安意識提升及資安技術強化等層面,三管齊下以縮短資安技能落差。企業應透過投資員工的培訓與認證,幫助IT與安全團隊習得關鍵資安技術。並且,應培養具備資安意識的第一線員工,以強化第一道防線。企業組織也應部署有效的資安解決方案,來穩固強大的安全態勢。 為幫助企業組織實現這些目標,Fortinet 安全織網平台提供超過50種企業級安全防禦產品組合,是業界最大的產品組合之一。此外,曾獲獎的Fortinet培訓學院,是業界擁有最廣泛的培訓和認證計畫之一,致力於向所有群體提供網路安全認證和新的職涯機會,包括提供資安意識培訓,為企業組織培育具備資安意識的人才。
