SUMMARY:Fortinet Demo Day
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nYou are invited to join us for a series of technical discussions and demonstrations on March 4th\, 2021. \nDuring this virtual event\, we will be hosting three 55 min sessions on FortiNAC\, FortiEDR\, and Secure SD-WAN. \n  \nBelow you will find the topics and the information that will be covered in each session: \nFortiNAC \nDuring this session\, we will demonstrate how Fortinet’s FortiNAC solution provides complete\, end-to-end visibility and enforceable controls. \nThrough simple Device Profiling capabilities we will show you how to dynamically detect\, identify and apply network policy to allocate Printers\, Cameras\, IP Phones to the right network segment\, with the proper port based configuration parameters dynamically assigned. \nDuring this session\, we will: \n\nDemonstrate how to perform a network discovery while leveraging secure mechanisms;\nCreate and leverage Device Profiling mechanisms to identify and classify new devices connecting to the network;\nCover use-cases involving the assignment of network access policy based on identity\, regardless of device;\nDemonstrate how Policy and User/Host based information can be leveraged to isolate unknown devices\, quarantine security risk hosts and assert role based access policy for known assets/users.\n\nFortiEDR \nThis session is designed to demonstrate how Fortinet’s FortiEDR solution provides real-time automated threat detection and response across your endpoints and how it enables you to protect all workstations and servers against threats\, while providing you with real-time visibility into your environment. \nWe will also detonate live malware samples (including zero-day threats) and demonstrate how the solution prevents these threats in real time. You will also see how the FortiEDR solution enables you to automatically remediate threats\, ultimately increasing your organization’s security posture while decreasing the amount of administrative overhead needed to manage an endpoint solution. \nDuring this session\, we will also: \n\nDemonstrate how FortiEDR prevents against both known and unknown/zero-day threats;\nReview how FortiEDR provides deep forensic analysis and vulnerability assessment within your environment;\nReview Application / Communication Control and Threat Hunting Capabilities;\nDemonstrate FortiEDR integration with the Fortinet fabric such as FortiGate and FortiSandbox;\nReview how to create automated responses to compromised devices.\nReview discovery of IOT devices\n\nSecure SD-WAN \nDuring this session\, we will discuss and demo Fortinet’s implementation of Secure SD-WAN using FortiOS 6.4. \nWe will explore the software-defined controls available to assist your organization in making intelligent routing decisions across multiple WAN links while being secured by an Enterprise-grade Next-Generation Firewall. \nVarious use-cases will be demonstrated involving proper utilization of high-cost links such as MPLS or LTE\, as well as the ability to implement reliable and secure Internet connectivity at the branch office level using SD-WAN over high-speed broadband Internet connections. \nWith the current pandemic issues we are facing\, we will also be discussing how SD-WAN can help with mitigating risks while increasing productivity associated with Full time remote workers. \nTo see the agenda and register click here. \n

DESCRIPTION:Using VMware Cloud on AWS you can leverage your existing VMware investment by extending expertise into the cloud for immediate benefits in resiliency\, scalability\, and elasticity. VMware Cloud on AWS provides a conduit to ease cloud migration without the need for complete application rehauls or complex conversion processes. We’ll examine how a hybrid cloud environment looks and feels while also demonstrating an actual migration of a workload from on-prem to VMC on AWS using VMware HCX. By the end we’ll have a full grasp what a sample cloud migration takes to accomplish when using VMware as the common workload platform. \nClick to register.
