Fortinet Further Extends the Convergence of Networking and Security
to Remote Users with Enhancements to its Single-Vendor SASE
Solution
John Maddison, EVP of Products and CMO“Fortinet
delivers the most integrated single-vendor SASE solution available,
uniquely converging best-of-breed networking and best-of-breed
security that are unified by a single operating system. The latest
cloud-delivered enhancements to FortiSASE further strengthen our
ability to enable consistent security and user experience no matter
where users and applications are distributed.”
News Summary Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT), the
driving force in the evolution of cybersecurity and the convergence
of networking and security, today announced significant
cloud-delivered enhancements to FortiSASE, the most integrated
single-vendor SASE solution on the market.
According to Gartner®, “Single-vendor SASE delivers converged
network and security capabilities to connect and secure distributed
users, devices, and locations to resources in the cloud, edge, and
on-premises.”1 It has emerged as a key architecture to secure
remote users, ensure consistent user experience, and shift from a
CAPEX to an OPEX business model. In fact, Gartner predicts that “by
2025, one-third of new SASE deployments will be based on a
single-vendor SASE offering, up from 10% in 2022.” 1
Fortinet was recognized by Gartner as a Representative Vendor in
the inaugural “Market Guide for Single-Vendor SASE.” FortiSASE
consolidates point products by seamlessly converging
cloud-delivered networking (SD-WAN) and cloud-delivered security
(SSE composed of secure web gateway, Universal ZTNA [zero trust
network access], cloud access security broker [CASB], and
Firewall-as-a-Service) via a single operating system (FortiOS) and
single agent (FortiClient), with AI and ML layered across to drive
additional operational efficiency.
What’s new?
In addition to enabling Secure Internet
Access that is not only fast but ensures consistent
security for all user traffic to and from the
internet, FortiSASE now includes new updates that add enhanced
support for Secure Private
Access and Secure SaaS
Access use cases:
Secure Private AccessLeveraging its success of
delivering networking and security convergence at the edge to over
20,000 customers via Fortinet Secure SD-WAN, Fortinet is now
extending this convergence to remote users via cloud-delivered
SD-WAN connectivity in FortiSASE. This extends Fortinet’s existing
ability to deliver granular application access with Fortinet
Universal ZTNA by adding broader application access with SD-WAN to
support the most comprehensive set of private applications running
at the data center or public cloud, while also ensuring superior
user experience. This enhancement makes FortiSASE the industry’s
most flexible architecture for secure and reliable access to
privately hosted applications by leveraging both ZTNA and
SD-WAN.
With today’s news, organizations that have already deployed
Fortinet Secure SD-WAN and/or FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls
in the branch or data center can seamlessly connect their remote
users to FortiSASE for private access without needing an additional
license. Secure SaaS AccessFortiSASE delivers
comprehensive visibility and control for SaaS applications, now
enhanced with next-generation dual-mode CASB. By leveraging both
inline and API-based support, FortiSASE enables full visibility
into sanctioned and unsanctioned applications to address shadow IT
and data exfiltration challenges.
Analyst Validation:“Modern IT and employee
environments are highly distributed and require secure connectivity
and access, regardless of where users or applications are located.
To provide these services, organizations must have comprehensive,
tightly integrated, network and security solutions. Fortinet
understands this and has implemented a single OS and agent across
its entire Cloud-based SASE portfolio, plus it has layered in AI/ML
technologies to drive greater operational efficiencies and deliver
enhanced user experiences.”-- Bob Laliberte, Principal Analyst,
