Fortinet FortiAnalyzer 150G Appliance
Security-Driven Analytics & Log Management

Overview:

FortiAnalyzer provides deep insights into advanced threats through Single-Pane Orchestration, Automation & Response for your entire attack surface to reduce risks and improve your organization’s overall security.

Integrated with Fortinet’s Security Fabric, FortiAnalyzer simplifies the complexity of analyzing and monitoring new and emerging technologies that have expanded the attack surface, and delivers end-to-end visibility, helping you identify and eliminate threats.

Advanced Threat Detection & Correlation allows Security & Network teams to immediately identify and respond to network security threats across the infrastructure.

Automated Workflows & Compliance Reporting provides customizable dashboards, reports and advanced workflow handlers for both Security & Network teams to accelerate workflows & assist with regulation and compliance audits.

Scalable Log Management collects logs from FortiGate, FortiClient, FortiManager, FortiSandbox, FortiMail, FortiWeb, FortiAuthenticator, Generic syslog and others. Deploy as an individual unit or optimized for a specific operation and scale storage based on retention requirements.

Security automation

• Reduce complexity and leverage automation via REST API, scripts, connectors, and automation stitches to expedite security response

Multi-tenancy and administrative domains (ADOMs)

• Separate customer data and manage domains leveraging ADOMs to be compliant and operationally effective

Flexible deployment options & archival storage

• Supports deployment of appliance, VM, hosted or cloud. Use AWS, Azure or Google to archive logs as a secondary storage

Highlights:

Security Operations Center (SOC)

FortiAnalyzer’s SOC (Security Operations Center) helps security teams protect networks with real-time log and threat data in the form of actionable views, notifications and reports. Analysts can protect network, web sites, applications, databases, data centers, and other technologies, through centralized monitoring, awareness of threats, events and network activity. The predefined and custom dashboards provide a single-pane-of-glass for easy integration into your Security Fabric. The new FortiSOC service subscription, provides built-in Incident management workflows with playbooks and connectors to simplify the Security Analysts role with enhanced security automation and orchestration.

Incident Detection & Response

FortiAnalyzer’s Automated Incident Response capability enables security teams to manage incident life cycle from a single view. Analysts can focus on event management and identification of compromised endpoints through default and customized event handlers with quick detection, automated correlation and connected remediation of Fortinet devices and syslog servers with incident management and playbooks for quick assignment of incidents for analysis. Track timelines and artifacts, with audit history and incident reports, as well as streamlined integration with ITSM platforms helps bridge gaps in your Security Operations Center and reinforces your Security Posture.

FortiAnalyzer Playbooks

FortiAnalyzer Playbooks boost security teams’ abilities to simplify efforts and focus on critical tasks. Out of the box playbook templates enable SOC analysts to quickly customize and automate their investigation use cases to respond to compromised hosts, critical intrusions, blocking C&C IPs, and more. Flexible playbook editor for hosts under investigation. FortiAnalyzer also allows analysts to drill down to a playbook to review task execution details and edit playbooks to define custom processes and tasks, and also includes built-in Connectors for playbooks to interact with other Security Fabric devices like FortiOS and EMS.

Indicators of Compromise

The Indicators of Compromise (IOC) service identifies suspicious usage and artifacts observed on a network or in an operations system, determined with high confidence to be a computer intrusion. FortiGuard’s IOC subscription provides intelligence information to help security analysts identify risky devices and users based on these artifacts. The IOC package consisting of around 500K IOCs daily and delivers it via our Fortinet Developers Network (FNDN) to our FortiSIEM, FortiAnalyzer, and FortiCloud products. Analysts can also re-scan historical logs for threat hunting and identify threats based on new intelligence, as well as review users’ aggregated threat scores by IP addresses, hostname, group, OS, overall threat rating, a location Map View, and a number of threats.

Asset & Identity

Security Fabric assets and identity monitoring and vulnerability tracking provides full SOC visibility and analytics of the attack surface. Assets & Identity visibility and assets classification based on telemetry from NAC. Built-in SIEM module for automated log collection, normalization & correlation. Integrated with FortiSOAR for further incident investigation and threat eradication. Support export of incident data to FortiSOAR through the FortiAnalyzer Connector and API Admin.

Reports

FortiAnalyzer provides 39+ built-in templates that are ready to use, with sample reports to help identify the right report for you. You can generate custom data reports from logs by using the Reports feature. Run reports on-demand or on a schedule with automated email notifications, uploads and an easy to manage calendar view. Create custom reports with the 700+ built-in charts and datasets ready for creating your custom reports, with flexible report formats include PDF, HTML, CSV, and XML.

SD-WAN Monitoring

SD-WAN Dashboards enable customers to instantly see the benefit of applying SD-WAN across multiple WAN interfaces with Event handlers to detect SD-WAN alerts for real-time notification & action. History graphs for WAN link health monitoring: Jitter, Latency and Packet Loss Critical & High severity SD-WAN alerts. New Secure SD-WAN report provides an Executive summary of important SDWAN metrics, detailed charts and history graphs for SD-WAN link utilization by applications, latency, Packet Loss, Jitter changes and SD-WAN performance statistics.

Log Forwarding for Third-Party Integration

You can forward logs from a FortiAnalyzer unit to another FortiAnalyzer unit, a syslog server, or (CEF) server. The client FortiAnalyzer forwards logs to the server FortiAnalyzer unit, syslog server, or CEF server. In addition to forwarding logs to another unit or server, the client retains a local copy of the logs, which are subject to the data policy settings for archived logs. Logs are forwarded in real-time or near real-time as they are received.

Multi-Tenancy with Flexible Quota Management

Time-based archive/analytic log data policy per Administrative Domain (ADOM), automated quota management based on the defined policy, and trending graphs to guide policy configuration and usage monitoring.

Analyzer-Collector Mode

You can deploy in Analyzer mode and Collector mode on different FortiAnalyzer units and make the units work together to improve the overall performance of log receiving, analysis, and reporting. When FortiAnalyzer is in Collector mode, its primary task is forwarding logs of the connected devices to an Analyzer and archiving the logs. The Analyzer off-loads the log-receiving task to the Collector so that the Analyzer can focus on data analysis and report generation. This maximizes the Collector’s log receiving performance.
