Consistent Convergence of Networking and Security with Unified Offering across All Network Edges
Fortinet’s Security-Driven Networking
Digital acceleration has led to a rapid expansion of attack surfaces and creation of new network edges, including LAN, WAN, 5G, remote workers, and clouds. Fortinet’s Security-Driven Networking approach is the industry’s only converged networking and security platform. This convergence enables AI-powered defense of today’s highly dynamic environments while enabling better productivity and user experience.
Leading Innovations of Networking and Security
The FortiGate NGFW is the core component of Secure Networking. FortiGate is powered by the FortiOS operating system and purpose-built security processors (SPUs). These innovations enable the most complete convergence of networking and security by eliminating the need for point products. Our unified offering of SD-WAN, NGFW, SWG, ZTNA enforcement, LAN edge, and wireless WAN 5G/LTE are available to deploy on any network edge. Real-time protection against known and unknown threats is achieved with FortiGuard security services.
Challenge: Securing Network Edges
Architectural Complexity
Disjointed security & networking solutions lead to multiple management consoles and inconsistent security policies
Poor User Experience
Slow inspection of encrypted traffic and an inability to steer traffic intelligently impacts users
Difficult to Troubleshoot
Fractured visibility for traffic, devices, and applications leaves finding root cause time consuming
Expensive to Support
No network- and security-wide visibility, analytics and orchestration increases daily operational costs
