Fortinet today announced new security operations center (SOC) augmentation services designed to help strengthen an organization’s cyber resiliency and support short-staffed teams strained by the talent shortage. In addition, as part of Fortinet’s leadership efforts to help close the cyber skills gap, the Fortinet Training Institute has added initiatives across its programs to further increase access to its industry-recognized training and certifications.

Cybersecurity Skills Shortage Prompts a New Approach

The prevailing talent shortage remains one of the top challenges facing SOC teams globally. Fortinet’s 2022 Cybersecurity Skills Gap report found that 50% of global leaders cite security operations as one of the most challenging roles to fill, and 42% are still in need of security operations analysts. Additionally, the same Fortinet survey found that worldwide, 80% of organizations suffered one or more breaches due to a lack of cybersecurity skills and awareness.

A lack of resources and personnel, combined with the sheer volume of security alerts SOC teams receive per day, often results in missed detections and slower responses that increase exposure to cyber risk. SOC teams require an immediate solution to mitigate these challenges through investment in automated and integrated SOC and cybersecurity technologies and experienced professionals to better protect against threats.

New and Enhanced SOC Augmentation Services Provide Immediate Support for Short-Staffed Security Operations Teams

Committed to helping organizations overcome these obstacles, Fortinet’s new and enhanced services help SOC teams reduce their organizations’ cyber risk while freeing up their time to focus on higher-priority projects. These updates include:

  • SOC-as-a-Service (SOCaaS): Fortinet has expanded its SOCaaS offering, which blends FortiGuard cybersecurity experts with Fortinet advanced SOC technology by adding more artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) capabilities to additional use cases. These updates enhance the offering’s ability to aggregate security alerts in one single cloud-based dashboard for customers to view actionable intelligence and accelerate resolution, and further enables security operations teams to offload monitoring and detection to Fortinet security experts. With this approach, Fortinet speeds up alert triage, rapidly escalates security incidents, and reduces false-positive alerts for customers.
  • Outbreak Detection Service: A new outbreak detection service is available to customers that alerts subscribers through email as well as automatically within key product user interfaces to major breaking cybersecurity events that have the potential for widespread ramifications. These alerts include critical information about security incidents, such as an attack’s timeline of events and what specific technology has been affected. In addition, the alerts also provide organizations with custom threat hunting to run against logs and identify the potential impact of an attack, as well as recommendations to Boost their security posture for better protection in the future.
  • Incident Response and Readiness (IR&R) Services: Fortinet recently added cybersecurity readiness services as part of its Incident Response offering and shifted the purchasing model to prioritize prevention. By providing a suite of proactive prevention-oriented services, such as risk assessments, playbook development, and tabletop exercises as part of the Incident Response and Readiness Services retainer, organizations can strengthen their cyber preparedness, SOC effectiveness, and reduce cyber risk, while still having access to a team of FortiGuard experts to help with rapid containment and remediation in the event of a cyberattack. In response to an accelerated demand for these services around the globe, Fortinet is also expanding its headcount dedicated to IR&R and SOC automation capabilities to allow more enterprises to have access to the offering.

Vishak Raman, Vice President of Sales, India, SAARC & Southeast Asia at Fortinet, said, “Fortinet builds ML-driven automation into all of its SOC offerings to support short-staffed teams affected by the cybersecurity skills shortage. But technology alone won’t solve this issue, which is why we are dedicated to also delivering human-based SOC augmentation services to provide immediate support, while investing in an industry-leading training institute to close the cybersecurity skills gap. This combination of technology, services, and training enables SOC professionals to better protect their organizations from detection to incident recovery.”

Expanding Cyber Skills Through the Fortinet Training Institute

While the new and enhanced SOC augmentation services provide immediate relief to strained teams, a long-term investment in continued learning and advancing cyber skills is just as critical to keep up with the ever-changing threat landscape. As part of Fortinet’s longstanding commitment to eliminate the skills gap, the Fortinet Training Institute offers award-winning, multi-level training and certifications to security professionals seeking to advance and upskill their knowledge in key cybersecurity areas. These programs also help untap new talent pools to help build the cyber workforce of the future, with a focus on providing training opportunities for women, veterans, students, and underserved populations. Some recent updates across programs include:

  • Increasing Access to Advanced Technical Training: Fortinet has made the practical exam for NSE level 8 more accessible for IT and security professionals everywhere. Both the written and practical portions of the exam are now available in an online, proctored format, making the highest and most elite level of the Network Security Expert (NSE) Certification program more accessible to security professionals around the world.
  • Supporting the Advancement of Women Professionals in Cybersecurity: The first women cohort of the Fortinet and Women in Cybersecurity (WiCyS) bootcamp completed the program, which offered 100 WiCyS members access to Fortinet’s NSE level 4 training and labs for free, technical mentors, exam vouchers, and more. Fortinet has also awarded five of the program participants with scholarships to attend the annual WiCyS Conference March 16–18, where they will have access to cyber leaders and employers.
  • Developing Cybersecurity Skills in Youth: To further develop the cyber workforce of the future, Fortinet is sponsoring various cybersecurity-based competitions for students in varying academic levels, ranging from middle school to college. This includes being a platinum sponsor of MITRE Engenuity’s Embedded Capture the Flag (eCTF) 12-week competition and a category sponsor for the Carnegie Mellon Capture the Flag competition.

Through these initiatives, Fortinet is progressing toward the company’s pledge to train 1 million people in cybersecurity by 2026. Additionally, Fortinet’s new and enhanced SOC augmentation services build on its expansive services portfolio backed by FortiGuard Labs. With today’s announcement, Fortinet remains committed to alleviating the challenges associated with the cybersecurity talent shortage by helping organizations better manage cyber risks with ML-driven automation, services, and increased access to training.

Killexams : Fortinet patches two critical bugs in its FortiNAC and FortiWeb products

Fortinet on Thursday patched two critical bugs in its FortiNAC and FortiWeb products that if exploited could allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute unauthorized code or commands via a specifically crafted HTTP request.

While both were rated critical, the FortiNAC bug — CVE-2022-39952 — was rated at 9.8 and affected versions 9.4.0; 9.2.0 through 9.2.5; 9.1.0 through 9.1.7; 8.8.0 through 8.8.11; 8.7.0 through 8.7.6; 8.6.0 through 8.6.5; 8.5.0 through 8.5.4; and 8.3.7.

The FortiWeb bug — CVE-2021-42756 — was reported as a multiple stack-based buffer overflow vulnerabilty in the proxy daemon of FortiWeb 5.x all versions; 6.0.7 and below; 6.1.2 and below; 6.2.6 and below; 6.3.16 and below; and 6.4.

Fortinet encourages its users to do the upgrades as specified in its advisories for the FortiNAC and FortiWeb products.

Mike Parkin, senior technical engineer at Vulcan Cyber, said  while there aren't a lot of details available on either of these issues beyond them being remote exploits, Fortinet did release updated versions that address the vulnerabilities. 

“As always, especially with a security product, deploying using industry best practices and keeping up to date on patches are just the starting points,” said Parkin.

When asked about how the FortiWeb bug dates back to 2021, Parkin said he wish he knew the reason for the long time lag.

“We've all seen these long delays between a CVE reservation and an actual publication,” said Parkin. “It would be nice if there was more clarity about the delays when they happen.”

A Fortinet spokesperson said the FortiWeb bug was found internally and published in its February advisory as part of its product security incident response policies.

Killexams : Is It Too Late to Buy Fortinet Stock?

Fortinet's (FTNT -1.22%) stock jumped nearly 11% on Feb. 8 after the company posted its fourth-quarter earnings report. The cybersecurity company's revenue rose 33% year over year to $1.28 billion but narrowly missed analysts' estimates by $20 million. However, its adjusted earnings rose 76% to $0.44 per share and topped the consensus forecast by a nickel.

Fortinet also posted strong guidance for 2023. It expects its revenue to rise 24% to 28% year over year in the first quarter and grow 21% to 23% for the full year. Both estimates easily surpassed Wall Street's expectations.

That stable outlook suggests that Fortinet is still well insulated from the macro headwinds, but is it too late to buy its stock after its post-earnings pop? Let's take a fresh look at Fortinet's business and valuations to decide.

A digital padlock on a circuit board.

An early mover in next-gen firewalls

Back in 2002, Fortinet launched FortiGate, a next-gen firewall that upgraded traditional firewalls with network device filtering tools. It established an early-mover's advantage in that market and now serves about 615,000 customers globally, including most of the Fortune 500. FortiGate subsequently became the foundation of Fortinet's Security Fabric, which provides end-to-end protection tools for on-premise, cloud-based, and Internet of Things devices through a blend of on-site appliances, software, and cloud-based services.

That expansion boosted Fortinet's annual revenue from $1.49 billion in 2017 to $4.42 billion in 2022, which represented a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24%, as its annual adjusted operating margin expanded from 15% to 27%. Its stock has also rallied more than 550% over the past five years as the ETFMG Prime Cyber Security ETF, which holds a basket of top cybersecurity stocks, rose less than 50%.

Unlike many of its other cybersecurity peers, Fortinet is firmly profitable by both generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and non-GAAP (adjusted) metrics. On a non-GAAP basis, its net income increased at a CAGR of 39% from $185 million in 2017 to $962 million in 2022. 

But can it maintain those growth rates?

Fortinet believes it can generate $10 billion in billings in 2025, which implies a CAGR of 21% from its $5.59 billion in billings in 2022. That forecast implies its top-line growth will barely slow down over the next three years.

During its fourth-quarter conference call, CFO Keith Jensen attributed the company's stable outlook to the "convergence and consolidation" of "network firewalls, Secure SD-WAN, 5G and OT security" into its "single operating system." Jensen also noted that Fortinet's development of its own ASIC chips, which are customized for its own hardware and operating system, gave it an edge against other cybersecurity appliance companies that used third-party chips.

Unlike many other tech companies, Fortinet didn't fret over macroeconomic headwinds at all during its latest conference call. Instead, Jensen said that even though Fortinet faced a "challenging global supply chain environment" during the year, its product revenue still rose 42% and represented its "highest annual product revenue growth rate in over 10 years."

Fortinet expects its adjusted operating margin to dip slightly to 25% to 26% in 2023 as it ramps up its investments in its cloud services, data centers, and facilities, but it still expects its adjusted earnings per share to rise 17% to 18%.

Fortinet is also swimming in cash. Its free cash flow rose 21% to $1.45 billion in 2022, and it spent more than 100% of that total ($1.99 billion) on buybacks. It repurchased its shares at an average price of $55.37 -- a discount of about 9% to its stock price as of this writing -- and reduced its outstanding shares by 4% throughout the year.

So is it too late to buy Fortinet's stock?

Fortinet's stock isn't cheap at 51 times forward earnings, but I believe its rock-solid growth rates justify that higher valuation. It's also fairly valued relative to its industry peers. For example, Palo Alto Networks -- which provides similar services and is growing at a comparable rate -- trades at 49 times forward earnings.

I believe Fortinet's glowing track record and crystal-clear road map make it a great long-term play on the growing cybersecurity sector. If it generates $10 billion in billings by 2025 -- which certainly seems achievable at this rate -- its stock could easily double in less than three years. Therefore, it's certainly not too late to add this high-quality stock to your portfolio.

Killexams : Top Cybersecurity Stock Fortinet Forecasts Strong Growth for 2023 -- Is the Stock a Buy?

Fortinet (FTNT -1.22%) stock is rocking and rolling again after its fourth-quarter 2022 earnings update. This top cybersecurity pure play not only put the icing on a great couple of years, it also added to shareholder optimism that it can achieve the lofty goals it set for itself at an investor event a few months ago. With shares quickly climbing back toward their all-time highs from nearly a year ago, is Fortinet still a buy?  

Where high-performance networking and cybersecurity meet

Fortinet has been handily beating the overall market for years, and longtime shareholders know the secret sauce is the company's custom hardware. As the company pointed out during its investor presentation in December 2022, its proprietary chip technology (the security processing unit, or SPU) is best-in-breed. It's a big reason Fortinet wins business, as it helps its customers embed security solutions directly into their network infrastructure.

This competitive strength was on financial display in Q4 2022. Management reported total revenue increased 33% year over year to $1.28 billion, including a 43% year-over-year increase in product sales (networking hardware featuring those Fortinet chips) to $540 million. It caps off an epic year of growth. Total 2022 revenue was up 32% to $4.42 billion (including $1.78 billion in product, a 42% increase). This builds on what was also a stellar 2021, when total revenue grew 29%.

Fortinet's profitability was even better in the Q4 report card. Its operating margin rallied in the final months of the year to 27.9%, under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), bringing the full-year total to 21.9% -- much of that due to the higher pace of hardware sales (more on that momentarily). Resulting free cash flow also rallied in Q4 to $497 million (a hefty margin of 39%), bringing the full-year free-cash-flow total to $1.45 billion.  

Highly profitable services on the way

On to guidance. Fortinet said to expect first-quarter 2023 revenue to be in the range of $1.18 billion to $1.22 billion, a 26% year-over-year increase at the midpoint of the outlook. And for the full-year 2023 period, revenue is expected to be in the range of $5.37 billion to $5.43 billion, a 22% year-over-year increase. Of the total sales estimate, management said to expect services revenue to be around $3.35 billion, up 27% compared to 2022. This is important news, and a significant development that confirms what savvy investors have been expecting from Fortinet.

You see, the journey doesn't end after Fortinet sells its physical products that get embedded into a customer's network. Once up and running, that customer then turns on recurring software and services that are sold as a package with the security hardware. The result is an ongoing stream of service revenue for Fortinet that can generate highly profitable returns (typically far higher profit than the product sale) for the company for years to come.

It also makes for a very sticky relationship. Many cybersecurity upstart companies (most of which address problems with the modern cloud) are software only. There are often low switching costs associated with those types of services. But a company like Fortinet, with products embedded into the very fabric of a customer's IT infrastructure? That's significantly harder to uproot. 

Additionally, Fortinet has done a great job over the years developing new cloud-based services as an add-on to (or integrated with) its hardware-based offerings. With a large installed base in existence, it gives the company the opportunity to go out and cross-sell more services as their customers need -- further enhancing Fortinet's chance to expand profitably. 

With a big and expanding backlog of business, Fortinet's recent report was fantastic news for this cybersecurity leader. Shares now trade for 32 times 2022 free cash flow, a premium price tag. However, if Fortinet meets its goals for double-digit revenue growth, maintains its high profit margin, and continues to repurchase lots of stock (it repurchased $1.99 billion in 2022) over the next few years, it's certainly not an unreasonable price. I remain a buyer here.

FORTINET — a global leader in broad, integrated and automated cybersecurity solutions — announced new security operations center (SOC) augmentation services, designed to help strengthen an organization's cyberresiliency and support short-staffed teams, strained by the talent shortage. In addition, as part of Fortinet's leadership efforts to help close the cyberskills gap, the Fortinet Training Institute has added initiatives across its programs to further increase access to its industry-recognized training and certifications.

The prevailing talent shortage remained one of the top challenges facing SOC teams globally. Fortinet's 2022 Cybersecurity Skills Gap report found that 50 percent of global leaders cited security operations as one of the most challenging roles to fill, and 42 percent were still in need of security operations analysts. Additionally, the same Fortinet survey found that worldwide, 80 percent of organizations suffered one or more breaches due to a lack of cybersecurity skills and awareness.

A lack of resources and personnel, combined with the sheer volume of security alerts SOC teams receive per day, often resulted in missed detections and slower responses that increased exposure to cyberrisk. SOC teams required an immediate solution to mitigate these challenges through investment in automated and integrated SOC, and cybersecurity technologies and experienced professionals to better protect against threats.

New and enhanced SOC augmentation services provided immediate support for short-staffed security operations teams.

Committed to helping organizations overcome these obstacles, Fortinet's new and enhanced services helped SOC teams to reduce their organizations' cyberrisk while freeing up their time to focus on higher-priority projects.

Investment Thesis

Fortinet (NASDAQ:FTNT) has a less-than-straightforward story. Its business makes the bulk of its revenues from its Product segment. Something that the Street has generally been skeptical of.

But what Fortinet has excelled in, is in delivering high ROI

Killexams : Fortinet helps launch the Cybercrime Atlas Initiative
  • The Cybercrime Atlas initiative brings together global leaders to fight cyberthreats and map the cybercrime landscape, covering criminal operations, structures and networks

SUNNYVALE, Calif. – Derek Manky, Chief Security Strategist and VP of Global Threat Intelligence at FortiGuard Labs: “Disrupting global cybercriminal organizations requires a global effort with strong, trusted relationships and collaboration across public and private organizations and industries. It is part of Fortinet’s mission to secure people, devices, and data everywhere, and Fortinet is proud to be one of the founding members of the World Economic Forum Centre for Cybersecurity and an active contributor as part of its Partnership against Cybercrime (PAC). The Cybercrime Atlas initiative is about driving real impact and is a coordinated effort to create a chain of disruption in the world of cybercrime. We are excited to continue our work with private and public sector leaders to help make our digital world a safer place.”

Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT), the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, today announced the launch of the Cybercrime Atlas, a joint initiative launched this month in Davos at the organization’s Annual Meeting by the World Economic Forum (WEF) with the support of Banco Santander, Fortinet, Microsoft, and PayPal. The Cybercrime Atlas – currently hosted by the Forum – will aid industry, law enforcement, and government agencies by providing a first-of-its-kind visibility to disrupt cybercriminals across their ecosystem and infrastructure to track and help take down cybercriminals and their infrastructure around the world. 

Global Leaders Collaborating to Build a Chain of Disruption

Cybercrime impacts everyone from individuals to global corporations and critical infrastructures and governments. It causes immense, though not always visible, damage to economies and societies. The Cybercrime Atlas was first conceptualized by the Forum’s PAC community, which includes over 40 private and public sector members.

The Cybercrime Atlas is a collaborative effort to build an action-orientated, global knowledge-base​ of the cybercriminal landscape to enable mitigation and disruption of cybercrime. Building on the expertise of the Forum’s PAC, the Cybercrime Atlas initiative will provide a platform for leading cybercrime investigators, national and international law enforcement agencies, and global businesses to share knowledge, generate policy recommendations and identify opportunities for coordinated action to fight cyberthreats.

The Cybercrime Atlas aims to build a comprehensive picture of the cybercrime landscape that covers criminal operations, shared infrastructure, and networks. The links between the information gathered about threat actors will help the security industry more effectively disrupt the cybercriminal ecosystem, more efficiently allocate resources in the fight against them, and make their unlawful efforts more cost prohibitive.

Since 2H 2021, the Cybercrime Atlas has benefited from a year of analysis into 13 criminal groups by specialized analysts and cybercrime investigators, using only publicly available information. The accumulated knowledge from the Cybercrime Atlas efforts will ultimately help to identify and disrupt the cybercrime ecosystem. The analysis will shed light on cybercriminal artifacts to aid industry, law enforcement, and government agencies to create a chain of disruption. The approach and initial findings of the group have been welcomed by law enforcement agencies. The uncovering of these non-traditional artificats will help aid in the capture and successfull prosecution of cybercrime gang members.
