Device Provisioning

Streamline the deployment of FortiGate devices so they are ready to protect your infrastructure, while adhering to security standards and improved efficiency.

The life cycle of ITIL changes. First, the customer submits a service request. Then Fortinet handles the evaluation and confirmation process. The customer approves, and then Fortinet implements and verifies. The customer closes the request, and the cycle begins again once they submit another service request

Change Management

Leverage FSBP and ITIL methodologies to ensure configuration changes are evaluated, implemented, and verified to maximize the performance and uptime of your network. 

The combination of the customer, SOC as a service, and the Managed FortiGate Service helps improve your security posture

System Hardening

Get immediate expert response and resolution to security incidents, identify configuration weaknesses, and implement proactive measures to improve your security posture.
