Fortinet and Astelia Preemptive Exposure Management Overview

This solution brief outlines the collaboration between Fortinet and Astelia to create a preemptive exposure management solution aimed at helping organizations identify and remediate the most critical vulnerabilities in their environments. The solution focuses on the 1-2% of vulnerabilities that are both reachable and exploitable, utilizing Astelia's network mapping and vulnerability analysis in conjunction with Fortinet's FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls. The document discusses the challenges posed by the rapid growth of vulnerabilities and the inadequacies of traditional exposure management tools. It details how the joint solution leverages read-only API access to gather network data, enabling accurate vulnerability assessments. The brief also highlights the integration of Astelia's analysis engine with Fortinet's management tools to streamline the identification of exploitable vulnerabilities and provide actionable remediation guidance. Additionally, it describes specific use cases demonstrating the solution's effectiveness in eliminating non-reachable vulnerabilities and identifying unscanned external assets.
