Encouraging enterprises to embrace a security-driven networking approach

Over the last 15 years, Fortinet has been driving businesses to rethink their security investments and focus on a holistic solution. The cybersecurity vendor is at GITEX Technology Week 2021 to encourage businesses to embrace a security-driven networking approach.

According to Alain Penel, Regional Vice President – Middle East, Fortinet, GITEX has always been an important event for the region and the UAE in particular. Penel said the show has evolved over the years to showcase how technology has transformed businesses and offer a glimpse at how it can change the future for the better. “With businesses having adapted to the new normal, we are expecting GITEX to serve as a platform for companies to encourage organisations to look at their technology investments from a new perspective,” he said. “We are also expecting GITEX to be a mega event this year as a number of tech events integrate to give visitors and exhibitors alike the opportunity to explore technology at its best.”

He said by adopting a security-driven approach to networking, businesses can embrace digital innovation without exposing critical assets to risks. “Thanks to a holistic solution that can protect any edge the moment it is created, organisations will benefit from unified management and orchestration, broad visibility, granular control and centralised compliance capabilities,” he said.
