New AI-Powered FortiGuard Security ServicesДЇortinet's rich suite of FortiGuard Security Services is powered by FortiGuard Labs and natively integrated across the Fortinet Security Fabric to deliver automated and coordinated security in real-time. These enhancements enable FortiOS to further protect today's hybrid networks in the face of an escalating threat landscape while also helping organizations achieve digital acceleration. Combined management of advanced networking and security becomes a powerful enabler of digital acceleration.вЂќДЇortiOS 7.2 delivers new AI-powered FortiGuard security services, enhancements to the only converged networking and security platform available today, and further consolidation of security point products across networks, endpoints, and clouds. Hybrid networks are needed for enterprises today, allowing applications and workflows to move seamlessly across every edge so critical information can be accessed by any user or device from any location. According to Brandon Butler, Research Manager, Enterprise Networks at IDC, 'The network is foundational for enabling the secure, scalable, and efficient use of cloud, edge, and IoT applications. Networks today are hybrid by design вЂ“ spread across on-premises, multiple edges, and the cloud вЂ“ and they will continue to be the enabler for digital acceleration. Growing and scaling digital business while protecting a distributed infrastructure has never been more critical or complex. Hybrid Networks and Accelerating Business Demands And now, with the release of FortiOS 7.2, Fortinet is setting new industry standards for converged networking and security.'ДЇortinetВ® (NASDAQ: FTNT), a global leader in broad, integrated, and automated cybersecurity solutions, today announced the release of FortiOS 7.2, the latest upgrades to its flagship operating system and the foundation of the Fortinet Security Fabric.В Over 300 new features enhance Fortinet's ability to converge security at every network edge combined with the performance and scale needed to detect and prevent threats across an organization's entire infrastructure. Over 20 years of prioritizing organic research and development have positioned Fortinet as the driving force behind cybersecurity innovation. The present and foreseeable future consists of hybrid networks, and only with security at their core will those networks be able to adapt at speed and scale to secure every edge. Networking and security can no longer be treated as separate strategies. 'Fortinet continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in converging networking and security to enable customers and partners to safely and effectively compete in today's digital marketplace. John Maddison, EVP of Products and CMO at Fortinet The primary unit caches are used for primary and subordinate unit requests.New features converge networking and security to further unify SD-WAN, ZTNA, SWG, NGFW, and more, enabling consistent, coordinated security across any network edge at-scale The FortiGuard Web Filtering and Email Filtering URL caches are maintained on the primary unit. The primary unit receives all such requests from the subordinate units and relays them to the FDN and then relays the FDN responses back to the subordinate units. The subordinate units process traffic so they may also be making FortiGuard Web Filtering and Email Filter requests. Communication between the cluster units and the FDN is the same as for active-passive clusters with the following exception. The caches are not shared among cluster units so after a failover the new primary unit must build up new caches.Д«oth the primary unit and the subordinate units process traffic. All cluster units receive FortiGuard Antivirus, IPS, and application control updates from the FDN.ДЇortiGuard Web Filter and Email Filter caches are located on the primary unit in the same way as for a standalone FortiGate unit. Only the primary unit sends FortiGuard Web Filtering and Antispam requests to the FDN. Even so, all cluster units communicate with the FDN.

You must register and license all of the units in a cluster for all required FortiGuard services, both because all cluster units communicate with the FDN and because any cluster unit could potentially become the primary unit.ДЇor an active-passive cluster, only the primary unit processes traffic. It is not sufficient to only have coverage for the Master unit.ДЄll units needs to have valid support contract in order to be able open a support ticket against a specific device.

All members of HA cluster need to have valid Support contracts and valid licences for FortiGuard services.
