Use cases

Secure industrial operations, end-to-end

fortigate ngfw legacy ot management diagram
Virtual patching

Enable compensating controls for legacy OT

Activate the FortiGuard OT Security Service on a FortiGate NGFW and protect vulnerable legacy OT devices with automated virtual patching and custom OT IPS signatures. These compensating controls shield unpatched systems from malicious exploits. As a result, organizations maintain secure, resilient operations as industrial networks evolve and connect to IT, the cloud, and external networks.
