Fortinet has completed its acquisition of endpoint security provider enSilo.
The cybersecurity firm will integrate enSIlo’s endpoint detection and response (EDR) technology with its own FortiSIEM product, FortiInsight user entity behaviour analytics (UEBA) features, as well as its FortiNAC network access control offering.
Ken Xie, founder and chairman of Fortinet said: “As businesses become more networked and operations extend from the cloud to the edge and Internet-of-Things, the digital attack surface has expanded exponentially and has become more complex to secure. Manual threat hunting or point security solutions are ineffective when managing or securing these new environments. Instead, security and the network need to be integrated and orchestrated to enable advanced threat containment at network speeds. In acquiring enSilo, we add automated, real-time detection, protection, and response enhancements to our Fortinet Security Fabric to further protect endpoints and corresponding edge data.”
With the enSilo acquisition, the Fortinet Security Fabric now offers automated real-time protection against advanced threats and incident response services from a team of cyber threat experts. Patented code-tracing technologies also help thwart attacks and prevent exfiltration and ransomware, aiding compliance with PCI, HIPAA and GDPR regulations.
Roy Katmor, CEO and founder of enSilo said: “Together, enSilo and Fortinet share the commitment to solve customers’ most difficult challenges and to protect the endpoint and their corresponding operations and data. Now, enSilo brings its patented approach for advanced endpoint protection and response to Fortinet and its broad security portfolio.”
