Zero Trust Edge (ZTE), also known as Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), is on every security advisor’s radar as their clients’ networks continue to expand due to business growth and remote and hybrid work policies. For companies that have relied on individual point solutions to secure their environments, ZTE offers a better solution by delivering converged networking and security as a single, unified service. 

While ZTE promises to streamline security operations for overworked IT teams, you must thoroughly vet providers to ensure they have a capable, flexible WAN appliance, a large, fast network with global reach and a solid, battle-tested security stack for remote users and sites.

According to the Forrester Wave™ Zero Trust Edge Solutions Report, “Few vendors have all of these capabilities.” Fortinet is incredibly honored to be named as a Leader in this report and one of just 10 vendors evaluated by Forrester. 

According to the Forrester report, “Fortinet balances security and networking with eye-popping value." The company differentiated itself in the market by developing and integrating networking functions such as routing into its remote office firewalls, which eases the rollout of its ZTE solution with a unified management interface. This innovation and strong technology and business partnerships have helped Fortinet experience rapid growth.”
