The FortiGuard Attack Surface Security Service, integrated into FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls, continuously monitors and assesses your organization's Security Fabric infrastructure and controls in place to provide an overall rating of your security posture.
Continuously assess and rate your security posture
Unpatched vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and less-than-optimal settings, all affect the scoring for each control. This, in turn, influences overall scores for your organization. Visibility across your attack surface, facilitated through your Fabric infrastructure, extends to IoT devices connected to your environment.
The rating aspects of the service apply to all devices in your Security Fabric
They use real-time monitoring to analyze your Security Fabric deployment, identify potential vulnerabilities, and highlight best practices (that can be used to improve the security and performance of your network), and calculate Security Fabric scores.
The service provides three main security scores
Security Posture, Fabric Coverage, and Optimization - which provide an executive summary of the three largest areas of security focus in the Security Fabric.
