News Summary<\/strong>
\nFortinet<\/a>\u00ae (NASDAQ: FTNT), the driving force in the evolution of cybersecurity and the convergence of networking and security, today announced significant cloud-delivered enhancements to\u00a0FortiSASE<\/a>, the most integrated single-vendor SASE solution on the market.<\/p>\n

According to Gartner\u00ae<\/sup>, \u201cSingle-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.\u201d1<\/sup>\u00a0It 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 \u201cby 2025, one-third of new SASE deployments will be based on a single-vendor SASE offering, up from 10% in 2022.\u201d\u00a01<\/sup><\/p>\n

Fortinet was recognized by Gartner as a Representative Vendor in the inaugural \u201cMarket Guide for Single-Vendor SASE<\/a>.\u201d FortiSASE consolidates point products by seamlessly converging cloud-delivered networking (SD-WAN<\/a>) and cloud-delivered security (SSE composed of\u00a0secure web gateway<\/a>,\u00a0Universal ZTNA<\/a>\u00a0[zero trust network access],\u00a0cloud access security broker<\/a>\u00a0[CASB], and\u00a0Firewall-as-a-Service<\/a>) via a single operating system (FortiOS<\/a>) and single agent (FortiClient<\/a>), with AI and ML layered across to drive additional operational efficiency.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s new?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In\u00a0addition to enabling\u00a0Secure Internet Access<\/strong>\u00a0that is not only fast but ensures consistent security for all user traffic to and from the internet,\u00a0FortiSASE now includes new updates that add enhanced support for\u00a0Secure Private Access<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Secure SaaS Access<\/strong>\u00a0use cases:<\/p>\n

Secure Private Access<\/strong>
\nLeveraging 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\u2019s 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\u2019s most flexible architecture for secure and reliable access to privately hosted applications by leveraging both ZTNA and SD-WAN.<\/p>\n

With today\u2019s news, organizations that have already deployed Fortinet Secure SD-WAN and\/or\u00a0FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls<\/a>\u00a0in the branch or data center can seamlessly connect their remote users to FortiSASE for private access without needing an additional license.<\/p>\n

Secure SaaS Access<\/strong>
\nFortiSASE 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.<\/p>\n

Analyst Validation:<\/strong>
\n\u201cModern 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.\u201d
