Compare Fortinet Security Fabric vs. Guardz

As organizations rapidly embrace digital transformation, they experience an expansion of their attack surfaces alongside increased network complexity. Concurrently, cyber threats are evolving into more automated and sophisticated forms. To address these challenges, modern organizations must adopt innovative strategies to ensure secure and high-performing connections between users and applications. According to Gartner, the cybersecurity mesh architecture (CSMA) has emerged as one of the leading strategic technology trends. It highlights that organizations implementing cybersecurity mesh within their collaborative frameworks could potentially decrease financial losses from cyberattacks by as much as 90%. This approach spans the vast digital attack surface and lifecycle, facilitating self-healing security measures that safeguard devices, data, and applications. Moreover, it integrates the principles of convergence and consolidation to deliver extensive, real-time cybersecurity protection from users through to applications. Our diverse portfolio encompasses integrated networking and security solutions that cover endpoints, networks, and cloud environments, ensuring holistic protection for all digital assets. This comprehensive strategy not only fortifies organizational defenses but also enhances overall operational efficiency.

Guardz is the unified cybersecurity platform purpose-built for MSPs. We consolidate the essential security controls, including identities, endpoints, email, awareness, and more, into one AI-native framework designed for operational efficiency. Our identity-centric approach connects the dots across vectors, reducing the gaps that siloed tools leave behind so MSPs can respond to user risk in real time. With 24/7 AI + human-led MDR, Guardz utilizes agentic AI to triage at machine speed while expert analysts validate, mitigate, and guide response, giving MSPs scalable protection without adding headcount.
