Report and index overview
The security of smart residential and small
business systems deserves elevated attention
especially since access could have serious
safety ramifications. This is especially
relevant for remote work environments
where secure access is important.

The latest Fortinet Threat Landscape Report
is a quarterly view that represents the
collective intelligence of FortiGuard Labs,
drawn from Fortinet’s vast array of global
sensors during Q2 2019. Research data
covers global and regional perspectives.
Also included in the report is the Fortinet Threat
Landscape Index (TLI), comprised of individual
indices for three central and complementary
aspects of that landscape which are exploits,
malware and botnets, showing prevalence and
volume in a given quarter. n
