Ordr announced that the company has expanded its partnership with Fortinet to deliver integrated solution to address the security challenges posed by widespread IoT and unmanaged devices.

As the number of connected devices on corporate networks-from critical business infrastructure such as IP-enable physical security devices to consumer devices such as smart speakers-has grown exponentially, they have become lucrative targets for attack.

Ordr further reduces administrative costs by automatically updating asset groupings as devices join and leave the network, as well as by creating and transmitting security policies directly to FortiGate and FortiManager for enforcement.

Benefits Discover and inventory every connected network asset, including the massive volume of IoT and unmanaged devices, and make available across the Fortinet Security Fabric, from endpoint to edge, through FortiNAC, FortiManager, and FortiGate.

"Fortinet is a leader in enterprise security and today's announcement bolsters our customers' ability to discover and inventory every connected device, including the massive volume of IoT and unmanaged devices on a typical network," said Bryan Gillson, VP of Business Development at Ordr.

"With just a few clicks, administrators can create business-relevant segmentation policies in FortiGate NGFWs that ensure devices of a specific type and role only connect over approved communication channels with necessary destinations-all specific to the organization," said Josh King, Director of Security Solutions at Carousel Industries, an Ordr partner whose team of more than 1,300 IT professionals provide IT, security, cloud and managed services to thousands of businesses.
