The financial toll of cybersecurity threats is a reality that enterprises can no longer ignore. According to the IBM “Cost of a Data Breach Report 2025,” the global average cost of a data breach has reached $4.4 million. As cloud, AI, and digital services proliferate, corporate IT architectures are becoming increasingly decentralized and the attack surface continues to expand, creating more infiltration opportunities for attackers.
This trend is echoed in Fortinet’s “2026 Global Threat Predictions,” which warns that the world has entered the “Cybercrime-as-a-Service 4.0” era—a stage where hacker behavior is highly organized, professionalized, and driven by automation and AI, leading to a simultaneous surge in attack frequency and destructive power.
In this environment, cybersecurity is no longer just an IT firewall configuration issue; it is a critical strategic capability that impacts whether an enterprise can maintain stable operations and continuous service. In the face of increasingly severe and complex cyber threats, enterprises require a defense line with “total visibility” and “automated detection” capabilities. Therefore, how to leverage Fortinet’s leading threat intelligence and protection technologies, combined with MSP (Managed Service Provider) for 24/7 cloud management and monitoring to maintain “system continuity” under high threat levels, has become a core challenge that must be addressed during cloud transformation.

From Perimeter Defense to Cloud Core: Nextlink Integrates Fortinet to Build a Unified Security Hub
As cybercrime evolves into a highly industrialized attack model, deploying isolated security tools is no longer sufficient for enterprises to fully manage risk. Nextlink integrates Fortinet’s comprehensive, inside-out defense technologies to help organizations strengthen security from external attack surface management to internal cloud risk control — building a unified security fortress with proactive detection and real-time response capabilities.
External Defense: Gaining Visibility into the True Attack Surface
On the external front, Nextlink supports enterprises in deploying Fortinet’s industry-leading FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) to establish precise perimeter protection. By integrating FortiGuard global threat intelligence in real time, organizations can effectively intercept both known and unknown threats.
In addition, through FortiRecon’s proactive reconnaissance capabilities, Nextlink helps enterprises continuously monitor exposed assets across the internet and dark web. For Web/API security, FortiDAST is incorporated into the development lifecycle, enabling vulnerabilities to be identified and remediated before product launch — truly embedding DevSecOps into practice.
Internal Integration: FortiCNAPP for Unified Multi-Cloud Risk Visibility
Within cloud environments, Nextlink assists enterprises in deploying the AI-driven FortiCNAPP platform to consolidate fragmented risk data into a single, unified view. Beyond providing clear visibility across multi-cloud infrastructures, Nextlink’s professional consulting team helps interpret AI-generated alerts, prioritize critical security risks, and ensure defense strategies evolve in step with emerging threats.
The Critical Key to Operational Resilience After Building the Security Line
However, even the most complete security deployment can have blind spots without long-term monitoring and real-time adjustments. This is the reality many enterprises face—security equipment is installed, but no one is monitoring the overall health of the cloud 24/7.
Nextlink possesses professional, certified MSP capabilities and works in close alignment with Fortinet, which specializes in threat detection and defense. Once the security perimeter is deployed, Nextlink takes the lead in ensuring the cloud architecture remains healthy, stable, and sustainable. Through our 24/7 Managed Service (MS), we provide proactive monitoring and integration across multi-cloud environments, helping enterprises reduce operational costs and transform “Security Defense” into true “Operational Resilience”.
Take Mommy Happy, Taiwan’s largest home cleaning company, as an example. Nextlink performed cloud migration and subsequent cloud managed maintenance, solving the shortage of professional IT staff during business expansion and saving 50% in labor costs. Dele Kong, CIO of Mommy Happy, stated, “Partnering with Nextlink provides a stable backend cloud environment and technical support; their professional attitude and expertise give us great peace of mind.”
From Security Deployment to Continuous Service: The Final Mile of Protection
In the Cybercrime 4.0 era, enterprises need an integrated strategy that supports long-term operations. By combining Fortinet’s professional defense technology with Nextlink’s continuous monitoring and maintenance, businesses can extend protection from threat defense to operational resilience and uninterrupted service.
Nextlink collaborates with professional cybersecurity partners, possessing the technical expertise and practical experience to manage cloud security for large enterprises. We help businesses move from security construction to 24/7 operational protection. Contact us now to realize a digital transformation blueprint that is both secure and stable.
