State-sponsored hackers and AI-based ransomware are attacking your PLCs. Downtime caused by breaches in your industrial network has grown 30% more in the past year alone. Fortinet’s Security Fabric can turn your industrial network into an impenetrable fortress.

Why Your OT Environment Needs Fortinet NOW

• Legacy air-gaps? Forget it. Today’s IIoT convergence means your IT/OT networks are already merged.

• Purdue Levels 0-3 are still unsegmented? You’re in a world of trouble. Ransomware can instantly spread to your HMIs, PLCs, and SCADA systems.

• FortiGate ruggedized appliances speak Operational Technology (OT) languages fluently: native Modbus, DNP3, OPC-UA decoding without any impact on performance.

3 Step OT Lockdown

• PASSIVE MAP: FortiGate’s TAP/SPAN mode identifies all your PLCs, RTUs, and IIoT devices without any risk to your operations.

• MICROSEGMENT: FortiSwitch + FortiGate segments your PLC -> SCADA -> MES communications using tags that can withstand reboots.

• MDR + ZTNA: FortiGuard’s 24/7 MDR quarantines compromised devices; your vendors can access only approved apps.

Factory SASE for Remote Sites

Take SD-WAN + SASE to remote sites without backhaul to headquarters. Protect remote IIoT sensors and mobile worker teams with the same FortiOS policies everywhere.

Real Results Manufacturing Teams Experience

• 40% faster incident response with FortiAI correlation of Level 0 anomalies to Level 3 MES alerts.
