Article Key

You’ve seen it firsthand—businesses that need flexible security solutions to match the demands of hybrid work environments. Your clients expect seamless and secure access to tools and data, whether they are in the corporate headquarters or a microbranch office. Unfortunately. traditional security approaches like backhauling traffic to a central data center just don’t cut it anymore. They only add latency, impact user experience and ultimately slow down your clients’ workflows.

Enhanced SASE Features to Support Modern Workflows

As work evolves, the technology that supports it must evolve, as well. That’s why Fortinet has enhanced its industry-leading SASE solution. With deeper integration across Fortinet’s portfolio, FortiSASE can now extend enterprise security to microbranches, IoT/OT systems and remote sites without deploying on-premises hardware. Traffic is intelligently offloaded to FortiSASE’s cloud-based security stack for inspection. This means your clients get advanced protections like sandboxing, intrusion prevention, web filtering and more applied to their microbranches. They get the same enterprise security, regardless of their location.

Expanded Security and Digital Experience Monitoring

As a part of its cloud-delivered security services, FortiSASE includes the FortiGuard-powered DLP service to protect sensitive data across the entire hybrid environment. The DLP service now supports more data types, file formats and SaaS applications. It also includes advanced data matching techniques to prevent inadvertent data leaks.

Additionally, Fortinet’s digital experience monitoring (DEM) integrates with FortiSASE to provide insights across users, Fortinet global SASE POPS, and the performance of SaaS applications including WebEx, Office365 and Dropbox, for comprehensive network and application monitoring. This end-to-end visibility provides IT teams with the insights they need to reduce resolution times and optimize the user experience. 

Backed by FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services, Fortinet’s SASE solution provides unified security, simplified management and end-to-end DEM by seamlessly converging cloud-delivered security, including secure web gateway, cloud access security broker, firewall as a service and networking capabilities via SD-WAN. It also includes Universal ZTNA for robust secure access to and from the internet, privately hosted applications and SaaS applications.
