their overall security strategy,” says Alain Penel, Regional VP – ME at Fortinet. “No longer can they rely on border-only solutions to protect against risks that threaten the health of their business. Only Fortinet’s broad cyber security platform provides protection from the endpoint to the data center or cloud. With FortiGate and FortiMail already in the ATP Framework, the addition of FortiClient closes another possible hole in protection.” Fortinet’s extended ATP platform with its next-gen FortiClient solution can now seamlessly integrate with FortiSandbox to quickly thwart threats entering at both on-network and off-network endpoint devices. FortiClient recently received AV Comparatives’ highest Advanced+ rating for file detection.
Fortinet’s newly announced FortiGate 3000D and FortiGate 3100D Network Firewalls are designed to sit at the top of the rack; leveraging Fortinet’s legendary FortiASIC-driven high performance and extreme port density to enable a level of internal network visibility and protection that no one else in the industry can provide. The FortiGate solution also actively discovers and reports new zero-day threats and malicious code to Fortinet’s FortiGuard Labs propagating real-time threat protection to Fortinet’s security solutions. The new FortiClient will be available in Q3 2015. Interested organizations can sign up for an early beta program.

ZSS LOGIN: World’s first GeoGraphical Password Solution
Following the wide international coverage of the recently introduced research paper titled “Geographical Passwords” published in the International Journal of Security and Networks (IJSN), ZSS LTD has launched its first product: ZSS LOGIN the world’s first geographical password solution. It utilize the remarkable human ability to remember places as a way to provide safe access, where users
can select geographical locations as their very strong access credential to different systems. “ZSS LOGIN comes as a response to the continued events of security breaches, especially the compromise of millions of users passwords on different websites” said Dr. Ziyad Al-Salloum, ZSS’s CEO. “If users were using geographical passwords as implemented by ZSS LOGIN,
then they won’t be affected by the recent iCloud celebrity photos breach, or the compromise of over one billion of internet passwords stolen by a global cyber crime ring,” Al-Salloum continued. Cyber criminals need trillions of years to brute force ZSS LOGIN geographical passwords, assuming 100 trillion guesses per second. “Geographical passwords, to a large extent, solves the password fatigue problem and can be a simple and practical replacement of conventional passwords. And the technology is suitable to all ages while millions of websites don’t need to change or integrate anything for users to start using it,” Al-Salloum explains. A study revealed that proposing an effective replacement of conventional passwords could reduce 76% of data breaches, based on an analysis of more than 47000 reported security incidents.
