IoT and OT environments face growing risks from outdated devices, flat networks, and insecure protocols. Traditional IT firewalls can’t address these threats, leaving gaps between IT and OT systems. HPE and Fortinet deliver a joint solution using ruggedized FortiGate NGFWs with HPE Edgeline to secure traffic at the IT/OT boundary. The approach integrates deep packet inspection, OT-specific application control, and custom signatures to protect industrial protocols. Features like FortiWiFi mitigate “sensor gravity,” while LTE options extend coverage in wireless environments. Scalable architectures and centralized tools like FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer ensure secure growth and unified visibility.
