Blended Security Threats Within Small Businesses and EnterprisesCyber crime and network attacks pose serious threats to small businesses. Intellectual property, revenue, customer and company records, and other mission critical resources are at risk. As larger companies work to increasingly lock down their networks, more and more security threats are being targeted at smaller companies. Small office/home offices (SOHO) often lack the infrastructure to meet the technical sophistication of today’s complex blended-attack methods and remote offices/branch offices (ROBO) often lack the on-site expertise to tackle such complex security issues. Point-based security appliances are inadequately equipped to protect against these types of attacks because of the multitude of attack vectors used. The Fortinet FortiGate series of SOHO and ROBO security appliances tightly integrate multi-threat protection onto a purpose-built platform to effectively block application- and network-borne attacks
