    To help the Infosec Team Scale & create a seamless consolidated threat response. FortiDeceptor all the Security analysts to manually investigate & manual remediation or automatically block these attacks based on severity before actual damage occurs via integration with Fortigate to quarantine the IP address of the threat actor, FortiNAC to isolate devices within an organization with FortiSOAR to trigger appropriate playbooks for an orchestrated response and with 3rd party solutions to trigger a response action via built-in fabric connector API. FortiDeceptor needs other FortiFabric Devices to respond well, however, FortiDeceptor also connects with other solutions via built-in fabric connector API, but you may miss the real-time data flow or may be delayed in response.

    Zscaler
    Zscaler Deception Technology is well suited for companies that want to provide private access to their internal apps without using a VPN. Zscaler integrates zero trust into their honey tools that is good for detecting lateral movement. With Zscaler you allow only your employees to be able to access internal apps so detecting a bad actor is much easier.

    Alternatives Considered
    Fortinet
    Since we have other Fortinet solutions like Fortigate NGFW & FortiSIEM in place, they share the threat intelligence with each other, and FortiDeceptor works very well in FortiFabric environments, We decided to go with FortiDeceptor for Deception technology. In the case of Rapid7 & Smokescreen, we had to counter the integration issue with existing IT infra, Security solutions should not work in silos, they need to share intelligence with each other to get the best from the existing Solution & to get the best ROI.

    Return on Investment
    Fortinet
    • Internet security is a gamble. It's hard to know the cost of a "would-be" attack. FortiDeceptor is basically an insurance policy and for that, it is a great investment.
