Fortinet, a Cybersecurity Giant, Hit by Data Breach: PT SYDECO Stands Strong
September 2024 by Patrick Houyoux LL.M. ULB, Brussels, Trinity College, Cambridge, UK. President – Director PT SYDECO
In an era where cyberattacks are becoming increasingly frequent and even the biggest industry players are vulnerable, protecting sensitive data for businesses, governments, and individuals is more critical than ever. The latest victim of a cyberattack is Fortinet, one of the global leaders in cybersecurity, which recently admitted to a data breach. A malicious actor claimed to have stolen 440 GB of data from the company’s Microsoft SharePoint server.

Meanwhile, PT SYDECO, through its SP-One solution, stood strong, resisting 2,357,251 attacks over a period of 11 months, with none of them managing to penetrate the system. This achievement highlights the effectiveness of our ARCHANGEL© firewall, designed to block attempts to breach the system and ensure maximum protection for critical infrastructure.
Fortinet and the Reality of Cyberattacks
Fortinet’s data breach underscores a significant challenge faced by many companies: despite using well-known cybersecurity solutions, a single vulnerability can expose sensitive data to malicious actors. While the full details of this attack are yet to be disclosed, it serves as a reminder that even industry leaders are not immune to sophisticated threats.
At PT SYDECO, we believe that constant innovation and vigilance are key to countering even the most advanced cyber threats.
