A secure access services edge (SASE) architecture is critical for enabling secure access and fast connectivity for today’s hybrid workforces. By converging networking and security, SASE allows organizations to apply consistent security policies to on-premises and remote users. 

However, many cloud-delivered security solutions fall short of providing enterprise-grade protection across complex hybrid environments. Integrating these solutions with existing tools deployed at the network edge can also be a challenge. This can lead to gaps in network security and a fragmented user experience.

Fortinet meets these challenges with FortiSASE. This solution allows you to consistently enforce robust network security and deliver seamless user experiences across all edges. FortiSASE converges networking and security using a unified operating system and agent. It extends FortiGuard security services like next-generation firewall (NGFW), sandboxing and threat prevention to users both on and off your clients’ corporate networks.
