The centralized policy management eases the burden of configuring separate firewalls across locations because it allows everything to be managed from one console, according to Cato. The NGFW also enables enterprises to meet compliance requirements for localized traffic control and enforce security policies…

The company also added ruggedized switches for customers looking to utilize 5G connectivity to industrial sites. The FortiExtender Rugged 511G features embedded Wi-Fi 6 and new eSIM capabilities, removing the need for physical SIM cards. “When connected to a FortiGate NGFW, a FortiSwitch essentially becomes a secure switch, with firewall protections and security policies implemented at each port and deep visibility provided for each asset, traffic, user, and activity enabled through the switch,” Shah wrote. The company built…

Frontend Observability uses a capability called Browser Real User Monitoring (RUM) to enable IT and developer teams to quickly identify and diagnose performance issues across browsers, devices, and locations. For instance, RUM identifies anomalies in page load times, core web vitals, and JavaScript or HTTP errors. RUM also provides developers visibility into mobile app performance and mobile user experiences. “Developers increasingly view end-user experience as essential to an application’s success,” said Kate Holterhoff, senior analyst…
