How to Bring Greater Efficiency to Network and Cyber Operations
For years, many federal agencies have looked at networking and cybersecurity as separate functions. But that approach has run into a new reality.

In this video interview, Bill Lemons, the Director of Systems Engineering at Fortinet Federal, discusses how a converged solution can address both requirements in a cost-effective way.
