Improves email filtering and network protection but has limited accessible support and feature discovery
When going for support and asking for support for features, the support team asks to go for professional services, which are not covered in the support agreement. This is the reason exploration of the product features has been limited. To learn or explore something about the product, professional services need to be taken. When creating a ticket for support with configuration features, the support is reluctant to provide that support. This is the reason every feature of Fortinet FortiGuard cannot be explored. Currently Fortinet FortiGuard is working fine with no issues, but newsletters or communications about new features in the product are not being received from Fortinet. This limits knowledge of what new features are available in the product. There is no knowledge about the behavior analytics feature in Fortinet FortiGuard.

Enhancement in incident response through reduced false positives and contextual intelligence
ThreatBook has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to detect all alerts and threats effectively. In the past, we needed to search logs from various sources, including terminals, DI servers, and firewalls, collecting a lot of logs and searching the internet for contextual information about threat actors. After using ThreatBook TDP, all alerts and contexts are easily displayed on the dashboard, making it very helpful for us. During the incident response scenario, ThreatBook saves us over 80% of the time for each incident. We usually took about one day or two days for attribution and understanding how the attacker attacked us, but after using ThreatBook TDP, we usually take around one or two hours to finish all these tasks. Additionally, their AI techniques save a lot of time, allowing me to ask in natural language for explanations about the meaning and target of the attacker.
