Network security vendor, Fortinet has acquired AccelOps, a leading provider of network security monitoring and analytics solutions. The acquisition further extends Fortinet’s recently announced Security Fabric strategy by enhancing network security visibility, security data analytics and threat intelligence across multi-vendor solutions.
AccelOps solutions will become FortiSIEM and become part of Fortinet's Security Fabric, with the aim of enabling more comprehensive end-to-end network segmentation strategies, from IoT to cloud. This will include the coupling of Next Generation Security Information and Event Management, or Next Gen SIEM capabilities from AccelOps with FortiGuard Labs global threat intelligence and third-party threat feeds. According to Fortinet, security correlation and analytics results will feed directly into the Security Fabric allowing automated threat prevention.
Enterprises will benefit from prioritized, coordinated responses and actionable threat intelligence across the distributed network on a subscription basis, added the company.
