F
ortinet, the global leader in high-performance
cybersecurity solutions, has announced that the
Monitoring and Control Centre (MCC) of Abu Dhabi has
deployed Fortinet solutions to protect its ‘Falcons Eyes’ project
from email spam and malware.
The MCC is predominantly set up to protect citizens and
visitors to the Emirate, and to protect public data collected via
CCTV footage from across cities.
Falcons Eyes is a visionary concept developed to enhance
public security and welfare by deploying networked security
systems across several entities to optimise the necessary
response from detection to action.
• Fortinet provides MCC with a cost effective yet efficient
solution to network security and allows for fewer systems
administrators
• Fortinet solutions include enterprise firewall, an email security
platform, a WiFi solution to facilitate WiFi requirements and
centralised management and logging devices.
• The multi-layered security solutions are utilised to protect
MCC IT Infrastructure and data using end-point protection,
email and web security solutions.
“As the MCC continues to grow and expand its operations, the
amount of data collected is enormous. We are responsible for
protecting this data and ensuring its integrity for analysis and
case presentation when and where required,” said Khalfan Al
Hassani, ICT Director – MCC.
“Fortinet Security provides us with an integrated and adaptive
end-to-end security architecture to protect our entire
distributed network through a single management interface.”
The MCC previously relied on several security products from
different vendors and encountered a number of challenges
in managing the disparate solutions to effectively deal with
threats. The architecture and equipment employed by MCC
for this grand scale operation utilised Fortinet solutions
