Highlights

00:35 — Fortinet is attempting to tackle the cybersecurity skills shortage by expanding its training. The company introduced new Security Operations Center (SOC) augmentation services to support organizations struggling to build cybersecurity teams amid the shortage.

Services include an expansion of Fortinet’s SOC as a Service (SOCaaS) offering with more artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) capabilities to help aggregate security alerts to a single cloud-based dashboard, speeding up alert triage and reducing false positives.
