D3 Security’s Smart SOAR (security orchestration, automation, and response) is a robust platform designed to integrate disparate security tools and streamline incident response workflows. FortiGate and FortiMonitor, part of the Fortinet suite, are leading network security and monitoring solutions that help organizations safeguard their systems from various cyber threats. This article will explore how integrating FortiGate and FortiMonitor with Smart SOAR enables use-cases such as automated threat containment; streamlined address and address group management; and efficient event and user management.
The Benefits of FortiGate and FortiMonitor Integration in Smart SOAR
Automated Threat Containment
Smart SOAR’s integration with FortiGate allows security teams to efficiently automate threat containment. Upon detecting a threat, Smart SOAR can use the “Add IPs To Address Group” or “Add URLs To Address Group” commands to automatically block malicious IP addresses or URLs, safeguarding your network from potential attacks.
Streamlined Address and Address Group Management
Managing addresses and address groups in FortiGate can be complex and time-consuming. Smart SOAR’s integration simplifies this process by allowing security teams to add or remove IP addresses and URLs directly from the platform, using commands like “Add IPs To Address Group,” “Remove IPs From Address Group,” “Add URLs To Address Group,” and “Remove URLs From Address Group.” This reduces the risk of misconfiguration and helps maintain a consistent security posture across the organization.
Efficient Event and User Management with FortiMonitor
With Smart SOAR’s integration, security teams can effectively manage events and users in FortiMonitor. Commands like “Acknowledge Events,” “List Users,” “Send Broadcast Message For Events,” and “Update Event Tags” enable analysts to acknowledge events, list all users, send broadcast messages, and update event tags, thereby streamlining network security management.
Conclusion
Smart SOAR’s integrations with FortiGate and FortiMonitor provide a powerful way to enhance your organization’s network security, streamline operations, and ensure the consistent application of security policies across all integrated tools. By automating threat containment, simplifying address and address group management, and providing centralized visibility into network activities and user behavior, organizations can transform siloed tools into a unified ecosystem that collaboratively works to minimize the impact of individual security incidents.
