\nBT Combines Global Connectivity and Cyber Expertise with Fortinet Secure SD-WAN, which Converges Security and Networking to Reduce Complexity and Cost
\n<\/h2>\n

SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BT is launching a new managed secure SD-WAN service powered by Fortinet<\/a>\u00ae (NASDAQ: FTNT), a global leader in broad, integrated and automated cybersecurity solutions, offering organizations networking and security in a single converged solution<\/a>. The move highlights both companies\u2019 commitment to delivering secure networking solutions that enable digital transformation.<\/p>\n

\n SD-WAN<\/a> allows organizations of all sizes to improve application and user experience while enabling the flexibility and cost benefits of a hybrid network. However, the network transformation made possible by SD-WAN leads to a wider attack surface, meaning traditional perimeter-based security is insufficient. Organizations that have chosen to solve this issue by overlaying security as an afterthought are realizing they have introduced unnecessary cost, complexity, and cyber risk into their network.<\/p>\n

With the scale, pace and variety of cyberthreats continuing to grow at an alarming rate, BT will be enhancing its Managed Firewall service with the addition of Fortinet Secure SD-WAN<\/a>, providing multi-national organizations with a solution that fully combines security and connectivity in a single appliance. BT experts support customers at every stage of deployment and operation, from initial set-up and roll-out through ongoing monitoring, management and enhancement.<\/p>\n

BT provides a consistent level of service for organizations\u2019 differing digital maturity, infrastructures and business needs. With all functions managed as a single entity, it allows customers to simply add devices and infrastructure to their network, giving them flexibility and agility to respond to market changes and growth. Through continuing threat assessment and detection, BT can also support customers by identifying and preventing attacks, and mitigate damages should a breach occur.<\/p>\n

Fortinet Secure SD-WAN<\/a> provides a number of clear benefits, including:<\/p>\n
