Fortinet Incident Response and Forensics Training

Due to advancements in the threat landscape, security breaches are inevitable. At some point, every organization is faced with a security incident that needs investigation, a response, and/or remediation. Even worse, a surprising number of organizations may already have active threats operating inside their network. Beyond threats growing in volume and sophistication, security operations teams lack the skill sets to identify and address network breaches—not to mention face an acute cybersecurity skills shortage. Fortinet offers security leaders two types of incident response services—FortiResponder Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Service and FortiResponder Incident Response Service—that enable them to turn security alerts into real action. These two services enable security operations teams to stop breaches and to improve incident detection, investigation, and response capabilities, which in turn reduce operational costs and disruptions.

FortiResponder Services: An Extension of Your Team and Technology
To help security leaders address these challenges, Fortinet offers FortiResponder Services. FortiResponder Services enable organizations to achieve continuous monitoring as well as incident response and forensic investigation.

The FortiResponder Services team is staffed with professionals who possess years of training and experience in malware hunting and analysis, reverse engineering, multiple scripting languages, forensics, incident response processes, and the tactics, techniques, and procedures of bad actors.

FortiResponder Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Service
The FortiResponder Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Service is designed for customers of the FortiEDR advanced endpoint security platform. FortiResponder MDR provides organizations with 24x7 continuous threat monitoring, alert triage, and incident handling by experienced analysts and the platform. FortiResponder MDR is designed to help organizations defeat even the most advanced attacks.
In order to do so, Fortinet focuses on monitoring the alerts produced by FortiEDR for customers. This team of threat experts reviews and analyzes every alert, proactively hunts threats, and takes actions on behalf of customers to ensure they are protected according to their risk profile. Additionally, the FortiResponder team provides guidance and next steps to incident responders and IT administrators.

FortiResponder Forensics and Incident Response Service
While many incidents can be addressed by FortiEDR and the FortiResponder MDR Service, sometimes organizations will need more customized services, which are available through FortiResponder Forensics and Incident Response Service.
The FortiResponder Forensics and Incident Response Service assists customers with the analysis, response, containment, and remediation of security incidents to reduce the time to resolution, limiting the overall impact to an organization. In addition to serving FortiEDR customers (whether or not they have subscribed to the FortiResponder MDR Service), FortiResponder Forensics and Incident Response Service can also help organizations that have not deployed FortiEDR for specific incident or breach investigation.

Key Benefits of FortiResponder Services
Organizations needing to accelerate their SOC maturity benefit from the combination of advanced endpoint security delivered through FortiEDR and FortiResponder Services; they get 24x7 coverage and the ability to scale existing SOC resources. In doing so, they can better respond to threats, operationalize incident response processes, and avoid alert fatigue without worrying about missed detection. These services lend bench strength to the SOC team, enabling junior SOC personnel to take on more sophisticated tasks so that organizations can do more with the talent they already have in place, addressing threats and bad actors. In addition, daily coverage from an external provider gives overextended security teams an essential backup, enabling them to scale while reducing mean time to detect and respond.
