NTT Communications to Strengthen Enterprise Cloud and WideAngle Security Services with Fortinet, Leading Security Appliance CompanyNTT Communications (News - Alert) Corporation (NTT Com), the ICT solutions and international communications business within the NTT Group (NYSE: NTT), announced today the immediate launch of a software security appliance service that can be deployed in a customer's private cloud, and in the near future via NTT Com's WideAngle security service for managed security. The service, which is being offered in collaboration with Fortinet (News - Alert), Inc. (NASDAQ: FTNT) the world's No.1* security appliance company, enables the on-demand use of basic security functions, such as cloud intrusion prevention system (IPS) and filtering, for the unprecedentedly fast, flexible and low-cost implementation of security measures. NTT Com is the world's first telecom service provider to launch a one-stop service for managed security service using Fortinet's software security appliance. It is being offered as a new option in NTT Com's Enterprise Cloud service for mission critical systems. Security measures are becoming increasingly important as companies shift their ICT to the cloud. Conventional measures using hardware security appliances are inadequate, because companies are not able to respond quickly and easily to security alerts as a result of these virtualized environments. NTT Com, in collaboration with Fortinet, will now meet these needs with a low-cost managed security solution for virtual environments as well as operating system. The one-stop service combines basic security measures such as IPS and URL filtering, plus antivirus and antispam measures for emails, as well as managed security for virtual environments in a customer's private cloud and NTT Com's WideAngle cloud.
