Fortinet, the leader in global cybersecurity advancing the convergence of networking and security, announced the opening of two dedicated data centres in India. In order to increase the accessibility and reach of Fortinet Universal SASE, FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services, and FortiCloud for clients throughout India and SAARC.
According to recent Fortinet research, 94 per cent of the Indian workers are either entirely remote or hybrid, and they need an average of more than 40 connections to external cloud apps, according to a recent study by Fortinet. This makes enterprise security more difficult to maintain and greatly increases the attack surface of an organisation. Businesses are progressively implementing cloud-delivered services to safely link their mixed workforce in order to address this.
They are increasing the investments in development centres and support centres in India with the addition of the new, dedicated data centres that they launched in Pune and Bangalore. By extending the reach of FortiCloud, FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services, and Fortinet Universal SASE, they will meet the rising demand for secure connections:
In order to accommodate today’s hybrid workforce, Fortinet Universal SASE combines networking and security. It covers network edges and microbranches to provide safe application access, high return on investment through consolidation, and an enhanced digital user experience. In order to provide safe access to corporate, SaaS, and web apps, Fortinet Universal SASE provides a high-performance and scalable cloud network with best-in-class AI-powered security, unified management, and end-to-end digital experience monitoring.
