Verizon Business Adds Fortinet to UTM Offering

Verizon Business has added a new platform that offers security monitoring and management services for Fortinet’s FortiGate systems for unified threat management (UTM).

The platform brings together firewall, antivirus, anti-spam, virtual private network (VPN), Web content filtering and intrusion prevention (IPS) protection into a single appliance.

The Fortinet platform is targeted toward midsized businesses with remote workforces, enabling them to defend against network threats while providing integrated hardware, software and services to ensure robust security.

Earlier this year, Verizon Business globally launched its UTM monitoring and management service on two platforms: the Cisco ASA (Adaptive Security Appliances) and the Juniper Networks Secure Services Gateway (SSG) Family.
