Security Transformation with Zero Trust 

Enhance your security posture by adopting a zero-trust paradigm and avoid implicit trust based on location. Establish explicit trust based on user and device identity and context, limit access to the network and necessary applications, and adapt access based on continuous risk assessment.

Challenges with Securing Access in a Hybrid Environment

Increased Attack Surface

Securing users and IoT/OT devices connecting from anywhere

SaaS and Cloud Access

Visibility and control over user access to various cloud/SaaS applications and data

Vulnerable Hybrid Workforce

Consistent security for the hybrid workforce connecting from any location

Unified Endpoint Agent

To address the complexity, cost, and security gaps caused when deploying multiple endpoint solutions, Fortinet offers a single, integrated unified agent that combines secure access with ZTNA, endpoint protection (EPP), and endpoint detection and response (EDR). With the unified FortiClient endpoint agent, you can move from VPN to ZTNA and on-board applications at your own pace. In addition, integrated IT hygiene, endpoint protection, and secure application access capabilities, including vulnerability scanning, AV, web filtering, EDR, and sandbox integration, are included.

Fortinet combines secure networking, unified SASE, and security operations through one central OS.

Security Fabric Integration

Fortinet zero-trust controls integrate with the Fortinet Security Fabric to deliver automated and simplified operations. FortiClient acts as Fabric Agent to provide telemetry and endpoint visibility, along with posture with the FortiClient Endpoint Management Server (EMS). FortiClient EMS connects with the Fabric to communicate near real-time endpoint information to all Fortinet zero-trust enforcement points that are part of the Fabric. These include FortiGate, FortiWeb, FortiADC, FortiProxy, and FortiNAC to provide automated, adaptive zero-trust access based on continuous risk assessment.
