Fortiguard Labs Outbreak Alerts Are Not Just Security Updates. They Are A Competitive Advantage.
Fortinet News, Monday, September 30th, 2024
In this complex and dynamic world of cybersecurity, awareness of your attack surface is paramount. Relying on traditional security measures in today's ever-evolving, AI-driven, sophisticated threat landscape is often not enough to protect against potential cyberthreats. Organizations need additional tools and solutions to remain informed and to protect against potential threats. One such strategic tool is receiving outbreak alerts from FortiGuard Labs.
Outbreak alerts start with a critical notification sent by FortiGuard Labs to subscribers when new or emerging cybersecurity threats, security incidents, vulnerabilities, malware, and ransomware are detected. These outbreak alerts provide details such as the background of the attack, the timeline of events, affected technologies, and related threat intelligence such as indicators of compromise (IoCs); tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs); and attack sequence used. While this level of detail could be viewed simply as security updates, outbreak alerts offer a significant competitive advantage for organizations looking to build a proactive and resilient secured network.
