Fortinet for manufacturer and provider of medical technology solutions

The motivation for the full-scale replacement of the IT security infrastructure was the re-design of the company-wide network. As the base security platform, Schiller deployed a FortiGate 800C cluster. The ASIC-accelerated firewalls equiped with 10 Gbps ports provide all necessary defense and security mechanisms. Thanks to the 24/7 hour subscription to FortiGuard service, the firewalls are continually supplied with the latest signatures and are able to detect and protect against even the most recent attacks. Schiller has also implemented maximum security levels for their email systems via the integration of the Secure Messaging Appliance FortiMail from Fortinet. FortiMail ensures comprehensive virus and spyware protection and also includes the latest spam detection and filtering techniques. A constantly updated IP reputation database automatically ensures that connection requests from sender IP addresses with a poor reputation are completely rejected. As there is no one hundred percent guarantee that only bad emails are blocked (false negative) and that only good messages are delivered (false positive), FortiMail provides a quarantine feature: All rejected messages are safely stored separately, yet are available to be retrieved by the authorized user. Schiller installed the FortiWeb 400C to avoid compromising either security or services accessible via the Internet. The platform—integrated as a “reverse proxy”—includes all the security features required for the comprehensive protection of web applications. Furthermore it is designed to fend off white attack methods such as SQL injection, cross site scripting, buffer overflow, and brute force login. The FortiWeb appliance, configured using URL-based policies, ensures that web applications can no longer be crippled, that only authorized persons have access to sensitive information in databases, and that websites cannot be compromised. Schiller AG has deployed Fortinet’s seamless suite of security solutions to protect itself from every possible angle of attack.
