NEC XON has announced a strategic cybersecurity collaboration with Fortinet. Together, they will provide specialised managed security operations (SecOps) services tailored to the telecommunications and ISP markets.
“NEC XON’s telco and managed services experience, coupled with Fortinet’s world-class AI-driven SecOps platform, uniquely positions us to secure telcos and ISP operations end-to-end,” says Anthony Laing, GM: networking at NEC XON.
The collaboration leverages Fortinet’s AI-driven SecOps solutions, including Fortinet Next-Gen Firewalls (FortiGate), Security Incident and Event Management (FortiSIEM), Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (FortiSOAR), Network Detection and Response (FortiNDR), Deception (FortiDeceptor), and NEC XON’s Security Operations Centre (SOC) capabilities.
“Fortinet’s AI-driven SecOps solutions seamlessly integrate behaviour-based sensors to detect and disrupt threat actors across the attack surface and along the cyber kill chain. It empowers service providers to ‘detect and disrupt’, then ‘investigate and respond’ to cyber incidents – reducing cyber risk, enabling faster containment and providing more time for thorough investigation and comprehensive remediation,” says Emma Davies, regional vice-president: global alliances at Fortinet.
