FEATURE: MONITORING
to increase the effectiveness and
integration of security while
reducing complexity.
Fortinet was chosen for its leadership
position in the Next Generation
Firewall space, but most importantly,
because it met MCC’s requirement
for its provisioning of comprehensive
routing function and security features
delivered from a single box without
compromising the performance for
mission critical traffic.
“We found two main advantageous
with Fortinet; the value delivered by
the products, and the performance
of the solutions for multicast traffic.
The MCC uses sensitive, high volume,
low latency multicast traffic for its
operation, and Fortinet was the only
vendor to provide such performance

with all the security features that we
required,” added Mr Al Hassani.
The project was introduced in three
phases from the start of the MCC, and is
ongoing. With ever-growing new network
and security deployments within MCC
and its agencies, there will be multiple
deployments within the MCC Data
Centre and remote sites in the future.
Networks are undergoing dramatic
changes and so are the threat vectors.
An infrastructure as critical as a the MCC
public monitoring system requires a
multi-layered security solution which can
scale as operations expand, and defend
and protect the network from malware.
Fortinet Security is built with scalability
and actionable awareness to help the
MCC protect its networks and remote
users across multiple sites. n
