FortiWeb Certified

Congratulations to FullProxy Consultant, Stephen Mellon, for passing the NSE 6 Network Security Specialist FortiWeb exam today. In our quest to become the only Fortinet Expert Level Partner in Scotland, Stephen has risen to the challenge of completing one of the last two NSE 6 level qualifications that stand in the way of us and the next Partner tier. FullProxy is currently an Advanced Partner but we have our eyes set on Expert level before the end of the summer.

 

FortiWeb is a web application firewall (WAF) that protects web applications and APIs from attacks that target known and unknown exploits and helps maintain compliance with regulations. Using machine learning to model each application, FortiWeb defends applications from known vulnerabilities and zero-day threats. High-performance physical and virtual appliances and containers deploy on-site or in the public cloud to serve any size of the organization — from small businesses to service providers, carriers, and large enterprises.

The Fortinet NSE 6 — FortiWeb 6.4 exam is part of the NSE 6 Network Security Specialist Program and certifies that the successful candidate has mastered important knowledge and skills to deploy, configure, administer, manage and monitor FortiWeb devices to protect web application servers from threats. This exam tests a candidate’s knowledge and skills related to basic to advanced configuration, day-to-day management, and using FortiWeb to protect web applications from threats.

Certificate management is a critical part of an organisation’s cyber security that cannot be ignored. Certificates are vital for protecting data transmitted between websites and users. If not properly managed, data could be at significant risk. One certificate option that organisations often consider is wildcard certificates, which provide some benefits but also carry security risks.
Google's announcement to reduce the lifespan of Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificates from 398 days to 90 days continues to be a hot topic of discussion among information security professionals, especially those directly involved in replacing and updating certificates. It’s especially frustrating because – although mooted back in April of 2023 – there’s still no confirmed date for its implementation. Yet Chrome browsers account for just over 50% of all UK web traffic (Statista), so there’s no avoiding the impact that this will have.
