John Maddison, Chief Marketing Officer at
Fortinet“The industry is finally realizing that networking
and security need to be converged. Traditional networking products
try and bolt security on top; Fortinet builds secure WLAN/LAN
products with security built in from the ground up. Even with thin
edge applications, we’ve integrated our cloud-based security,
FortiSASE, to drive seamless, secure connectivity. Further, we are
heavily investing in AIOps to reduce operational friction and
improve digital experience.”
News Summary Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT), the
global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking
and security, today announced it has been recognized as a Leader in
the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Wired and Wireless
LAN Infrastructure.
Fortinet believes that this recognition can be attributed to the
strength of its Secure Connectivity portfolio—including wired and
wireless LAN—which integrates seamlessly with the Fortinet Security
Fabric, Fortinet’s unified networking and cybersecurity platform.
Fortinet’s unique approach enables the convergence of networking
and security, allowing organizations to address increased risk in
their environment while reducing complexities, lowering costs, and
improving overall performance.
AI-Driven Secure Connectivity Solutions Managed through
a Single PlatformAs networks become increasingly
distributed, organizations need to extend security across their
entire network while simplifying operations and improving end-user
experiences. Fortinet provides advanced wired and wireless LAN
solutions that converge networking and security, offering
customers:
- Industry-leading LAN with a strong focus on
security: More organizations now view security as a
business risk, and the need for a secure, easy-to-manage LAN
solution is more vital than ever to support daily operations.
Customers can integrate their wired and wireless LAN into the
Fortinet Security Fabric platform through a common operating
system, FortiOS. This integration enables increased visibility and
control of both network and security functions while reducing
management and licensing overhead. Leveraging network firewall
visibility and control enables Fortinet to offer a more robust
wired and wireless LAN without the additional cost. The benefits of
Secure Connectivity are evident across deployments of all sizes,
including our microbranch solution, which allows FortiAP access
points to serve as an endpoint for Unified SASE, SD-Branch,
campuses, OT environments, and data centers.
- Streamlined management capabilities: Through
the Fortinet Security Fabric platform, organizations can leverage
zero-touch deployment to quickly turn on both security and
networking functionality. Organizations can manage and troubleshoot
the network, security, and even SD-WAN functionality through a
single console, available on-premises or in the cloud. Fortinet’s
intuitive architecture also includes numerous built-in security and
management features, eliminating the need for organizations to
adopt additional licenses and subscriptions to manage disparate
solution components such as access points and switches.
- AI-driven insights to create efficiencies and deliver
superior experiences: Fortinet’s dedicated AI operations
module, FortiAIOps, enables administrators to easily baseline
network performance, view and analyze trends, and access and
implement recommendations to strengthen the performance and
resilience of the network. The AI engine also offers event
correlation and issue remediation across the organization’s entire
network, leveraging data feeds from each solution connected to the
Fortinet Security Fabric platform.
- Support for microbranches: FortiAP uniquely
integrates with FortiSASE to provide organizations with easy access
to unparalleled cloud-delivered security and performance. This
integration is ideal to support microbranch use cases. Combined
with digital experience monitoring, Fortinet’s solution delivers
converged access to support today’s hybrid workforce.
These capabilities are all made possible using a single
operating system, FortiOS, to develop, manage, and operate both
networking and security solutions through the Fortinet Security
Fabric.
