Fortinet(R) Invests in and Partners With HyTrust

SUNNYVALE, CA — (Marketwired) — 08/27/13 — ® (NASDAQ: FTNT), a , today announced it has invested in and partnered with HyTrust, the Company based in Mountain View, California.

HyTrust-s products and services deliver the real-time control, security, administrative account monitoring, and logging and compliance assurances that are necessary to enable the benefits of cloud adoption and virtualization of critical workloads.

Eric Chiu, president and founder of HyTrust, said: “High profile security breaches and data leaks, such as those highly publicized recently, have resulted in greater awareness of the new risk landscape. Virtualized cloud environments introduce different security threats; what-s worse is that they consolidate risk in unprecedented ways, such that a single incident can easily turn into a datacenter disaster. This is the new reality that HyTrust has been talking about for some time; and the good news is that organizations are becoming more strategic about implementing controls that limit and monitor access to their systems and sensitive data, thereby mitigating advanced internal and external threats and risk. HyTrust solves issues like these, ensuring the proper controls are in place.” Chiu continued: “Fortinet is a security innovation leader, and we look forward to working with the company to deliver the best possible security for enterprise and government customers.”

Fortinet-s investment and partnership demonstrate Fortinet-s commitment to cloud security automation and Role-Based Monitoring (RBM).

“HyTrust is a strategic investment for Fortinet as it addresses two major federal government initiatives: consolidation and data breach prevention,” said Steve Kirk, VP Federal Operations at Fortinet. “Consolidation mandates are resulting in data centers rapidly being virtualized and moved to the cloud. Data leaks are also a major concern. HyTrust provides critical security, control, management and compliance capabilities to address these issues.”

and virtual domains enable the deployment of consolidated network security to protect virtual infrastructure and increase visibility and control over communications within virtualized environments.
