FortiSASE is the only offering to integrate cloud-delivered SD-WAN connectivity with cloud-delivered security (SSE) to enable the industry’s most flexible secure private access

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

John Maddison, EVP of Products and CMO
“Fortinet delivers the most integrated single-vendor SASE solution available, uniquely converging best-of-breed networking and best-of-breed security that are unified by a single operating system. The latest cloud-delivered enhancements to FortiSASE further strengthen our ability to enable consistent security and user experience no matter where users and applications are distributed.”

News Summary
Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT), the driving force in the evolution of cybersecurity and the convergence of networking and security, today announced significant cloud-delivered enhancements to FortiSASE, the most integrated single-vendor SASE solution on the market.

According to Gartner^®, “Single-vendor SASE delivers converged network and security capabilities to connect and secure distributed users, devices, and locations to resources in the cloud, edge, and on-premises.”¹ It has emerged as a key architecture to secure remote users, ensure consistent user experience, and shift from a CAPEX to an OPEX business model. In fact, Gartner predicts that “by 2025, one-third of new SASE deployments will be based on a single-vendor SASE offering, up from 10% in 2022.” ¹

Fortinet was recognized by Gartner as a Representative Vendor in the inaugural “Market Guide for Single-Vendor SASE.” FortiSASE consolidates point products by seamlessly converging cloud-delivered networking (SD-WAN) and cloud-delivered security (SSE composed of secure web gateway, Universal ZTNA [zero trust network access], cloud access security broker [CASB], and Firewall-as-a-Service) via a single operating system (FortiOS) and single agent (FortiClient), with AI and ML layered across to drive additional operational efficiency.

What’s new?

In addition to enabling Secure Internet Access that is not only fast but ensures consistent security for all user traffic to and from the internet, FortiSASE now includes new updates that add enhanced support for Secure Private Access and Secure SaaS Access use cases:

Secure Private Access
Leveraging its success of delivering networking and security convergence at the edge to over 20,000 customers via Fortinet Secure SD-WAN, Fortinet is now extending this convergence to remote users via cloud-delivered SD-WAN connectivity in FortiSASE. This extends Fortinet’s existing ability to deliver granular application access with Fortinet Universal ZTNA by adding broader application access with SD-WAN to support the most comprehensive set of private applications running at the data center or public cloud, while also ensuring superior user experience. This enhancement makes FortiSASE the industry’s most flexible architecture for secure and reliable access to privately hosted applications by leveraging both ZTNA and SD-WAN.

With today’s news, organizations that have already deployed Fortinet Secure SD-WAN and/or FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls in the branch or data center can seamlessly connect their remote users to FortiSASE for private access without needing an additional license.

Secure SaaS Access
FortiSASE delivers comprehensive visibility and control for SaaS applications, now enhanced with next-generation dual-mode CASB. By leveraging both inline and API-based support, FortiSASE enables full visibility into sanctioned and unsanctioned applications to address shadow IT and data exfiltration challenges.

Analyst Validation:
“Modern IT and employee environments are highly distributed and require secure connectivity and access, regardless of where users or applications are located. To provide these services, organizations must have comprehensive, tightly integrated, network and security solutions. Fortinet understands this and has implemented a single OS and agent across its entire Cloud-based SASE portfolio, plus it has layered in AI/ML technologies to drive greater operational efficiencies and deliver enhanced user experiences.”
— Bob Laliberte, Principal Analyst, ESG

HOUSTON, Oct. 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A new partnership between Headworks International and Sebigas aims to increase renewable energy production and OPEX savings for industrial wastewater treatment utilizing Headworks’ innovative patented EnergyCell, an Anaerobic Moving Bed BioFilm Reactor (AnMBBR), and Sebigas who specializes in biogas plants for renewable energy production.

The highly engineered EnergyCell allows industries such as dairies, breweries, paper mills, sugar refineries, distilleries, and slaughterhouses to boost renewable energy in the form of biogas from wastewater, converting wastewater into a valuable asset while lowering OPEX.

“At Headworks International, our team continues to focus on offering innovative, sustainable solutions to the water sector,” said Headworks CEO Michele LaNoue. “Energy prices are soaring. Climate change impacts on the availability of water are accelerating. Reframing our view of wastewater as an asset to be converted to energy is one piece of the puzzle to lower industrial energy costs and carbon footprints.”

“We are proud to announce our partnership with Headworks, a company with a great experience, established and recognized not only in the American market but also worldwide,” said Sebigas General Manager Roberto Salmaso. “This partnership is an important step in allowing us to extend products and services to a sector whose potential is extremely high.”

“The AnMBBR reactor represents an efficient and effective solution for transforming the organic load from various industrial wastewater into biogas,” said Sebigas Project and Product Manager Federico Torretta. “It is a much more resilient system than other reactors, easy to operate, and capable of absorbing variations and shock loads in the treated wastewater.”

The report shows that while burnout continues placing pressure on employees, thoughts of finding a new place of employment have simmered

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Owler, a Meltwater company and business information and insights platform driven by a community of 5 million strong, today released a new report gaging the current state of the workforce. The report found 72% of employees are prepared to settle in with their current companies for at least a year despite 57% of respondents rating their burnout level at medium or higher. The report signals that an uncertain economy is casting doubts on the workforce’s decision to find relief in a career elsewhere despite record stress levels.

Owler’s Know-It-Owl Report sent a series of micro surveys to its community of 5 million users to get a pulse on the current state of today’s business professionals. Participation included more than 2,300 Owler community members answering questions related to the impact of a changing economy on the workplace, with respondents ranging from sales and marketing professionals, executive leadership and more.

“While the workplace has always been dynamic, the last two and half years saw seismic changes that have experts spinning their wheels to understand where the future of work is headed,” said Tim Harsch, CEO and co-founder of Owler. “The Know-It-Owl Report pulls from a diverse pool of working professionals revealing a critical glimpse into its current state. The findings make it clear that though labor churn has cooled, companies will need to focus more of their attention on relieving burnout to manage the productivity necessary to compete in today’s uncertain economy.”

Key findings from Owler’s Know-It-Owl Report include:

• Mental health is a low priority in managing burnout – When asked what avoiding burnout would look like, only 6% of respondents are considering therapy. Most (57%) considered taking time off as their best option and 25% said getting more sleep is how they avoid burnout.
• Flexibility in where employees work is the most sought out benefit – Nearly half of respondents would prefer the ability to work from anywhere as their top benefit. Only 17% chose unlimited paid time off and 24% chose a four-day work week. As to the current workplace environment, 42% of professionals are already working in a hybrid environment, 34% entirely remote and 18% are in the office.
• Economic concerns meet the workplace – Companies are making some adjustments to their business operations in response to economic uncertainty with 47% of respondents admitting their company has taken cost cutting measures. Additionally, nearly two-thirds of respondents knew their company has instituted a hiring freeze, layoffs or both.
• Four-day work week considered possible – Nearly 59% of respondents thought it was possible to do their job in the span of four days, whereas 34% did not.

“The workforce doesn’t just walk away from the events of the past few years and go back to business as usual,” said Harsch. “In order to succeed in this economy, companies have an urgent employee burnout issue to address. While employees may not be leaving at the rate they did during the great resignation, burnout hurts the employee, company morale and overall productivity. Organizations need to carefully consider tools that reduce workloads and streamline company processes, and the right mix of employee benefits that best fits that company’s culture.”

ATLANTA and LONDON, Oct. 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq: DSGX) (TSX: DSG), the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced that Natural Baby Shower, an online retailer in the new-born/early childhood category, has optimized its order fulfillment operations with Descartes’ cloud-based ecommerce warehouse management solution (WMS). The solution helps Natural Baby Shower to achieve its goal of 100% stock accuracy and fulfill customer orders without errors.

“With far too many manual processes in place, our inventory was very inaccurate and fulfillment operations were inefficient. Previously, all orders were printed on individual sheets of paper for the team who would have to hunt in the warehouse for the exact location of the items,” explained Clifton Vaughan, Founder and Director of Natural Baby Shower. “Since working with Descartes to implement its ecommerce WMS solution, the accuracy of stock has been incredible and we are not missing shipments. The warehouse really is key to our future growth and, with the Descartes’ solution, we’ve put the infrastructure in place to keep growing our business, maintain flexibility and meet our customer demands.”

Part of Descartes’ ecommerce solution suite, the Descartes ecommerce WMS helps direct-to-consumer brands and ecommerce retailers drive significant efficiencies across order fulfillment processes to provide a remarkable customer experience. The solution helps ensure that retailers can ship on time, ship the right items, not oversell existing inventory, and have full transparency into warehouse operations. The solution is pre-integrated with major ecommerce platforms, such as Channel Advisor, Shopify Plus, Magento and others, to accelerate implementation and time to value. Order information is automatically available to be executed via mobile-driven multi-order pick-and-pack strategies and then fed into Descartes and third-party parcel shipment systems.

“We’re pleased to help Natural Baby Shower bring improved accuracy and effectiveness to its fulfillment operations,” said Dirk Haschke, VP & General Manager, Ecommerce at Descartes. “Our ecommerce WMS helps companies like Natural Baby Shower successfully grow their business by providing an outstanding customer experience.”
