Fortinet Teleworker Solutions
Ensure business continuity with secure, integrated, and automated remote work support from Fortinet.
Remote work offers flexibility, reduced commute time, and geographic freedom but it also demands strong security and uninterrupted access to critical resources. Whether employees are working from home, on the road,
or during emergencies, Fortinet’s Security Fabric ensures reliable, secure connectivity through three tailored levels of remote access.
Ensure your workforce stays productive—anytime, anywhere.
General User – Secure Telework for Everyone
The general user profile provides the essential foundation for remote work security that every employee should have. Whether working from home, a café, an airport, or a client site, users can securely access corporate resources and browse the internet with confidence.
This setup ensures:
Secure, encrypted connections over public networks
Identity verification when accessing the network, sensitive data, or protected applications
Support for all roles, including power users and executives on the move
Empower your team to work securely from anywhere.
Power User
The power user profile is for employees who will spend extended periods of time on the corporate network, and provides an even easier to access and secure connectivity option from their designated remote work location. Power users benefit from a secure, always-on connection to the head-end firewall. This creates a secure solution that is easy to manage and use. Identity verification is still recommended for access to sensitive applications and protected data.
Secure Wireless Connection
FortiAP can deliver flexible and secure connectivity while being managed remotely by a FortiGate next-generation firewall (NGFW). The security policies of the firewall can be applied to the wireless traffic, while an encrypted tunnel from the access point protects that traffic across the internet.
Identify Verification
Prove that users are who their user names and passwords say they are with additional methods of authentication. FortiToken provides two-factor authentication capabilities.
Super User
Super users are those with elevated credentials or access to critical business information. Keeping their work activities secure is a high priority for the organization. This solution effectively turns the remote work location into a small branch office of the company. As with all employees, identity verification are still recommended for access to sensitive applications and protected data. A VPN client is recommended for work outside of the remote location
Ultimate Security
Deploying a FortiGate NGFW provides a super user with the highest levels of security available for remote locations. With secure traffic tunnels as well as application control and traffic inspection, a low-end FortiGate NGFW provides several levels of protection, backed by artificial intelligence (AI)-driven security processes.
The Head End
Supporting the various types of remote workers requires both security and management tools to operate at scale. Below are the technologies that enable business continuity for a remote workforce:
