Zero Trust Access Solution
Fortinet's FortiGate provides a comprehensive zero-trust access solution for businesses striving to enhance user and device security. In a landscape where employees work remotely and a multitude of IoT devices connect to networks, ensuring the verification of all users and devices accessing corporate applications is paramount. The zero-trust approach mandates strong authentication capabilities, robust network access control tools, and stringent application access policies. By implementing this model, network administrators can enforce least access privileges, effectively safeguarding networks and applications.
Remote Access and Application Access
FortiGate extends its zero-trust security model to application access, enabling organizations to move away from traditional VPN setups that provide unrestricted network access. With zero-trust network access (ZTNA) solutions, access is granted on a per-session basis to individual applications only after thorough verification of users and devices. This policy remains consistent whether users are on or off the network, ensuring a robust security model across all user locations.
Endpoint Security at its Best
Fortinet's FortiGate delivers cutting-edge endpoint protection to proactively prevent threats like ransomware from compromising devices. Its Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solution not only mitigates existing threats but also hunts for potential lurking threats. Real-time threat intelligence from FortiGuard Labs guarantees continuous protection against known and novel threats. Moreover, the integration of network and endpoint security provides administrators with centralized visibility and control, ensuring the enforcement of consistent security policies, even for remote users.
Addressing Security Challenges
FortiGate addresses key security challenges faced by organizations such as inconsistent security implementation, insufficient remote user security, lack of granular access control, mounting costs due to disparate security products, and the need for enhanced endpoint security. With employees working from diverse locations, FortiGate's robust security measures ensure device protection beyond traditional network confines.
Fabric Solution and Industry Validation
FortiGate's fabric solution offers integrated access and endpoint security, enabling vendor consolidation, reducing security risks, and ensuring complete compliance. The industry recognizes the necessity for secure access, promoting cloud-centric solutions for distributed workforces and advocating for robust zero-trust implementations to counter the rising tide of cyber threats.
