Fortinet Security Fabric

Security Fabric
The Security Fabric delivers broad visibility, integrated AI-driven breach
prevention, and automated operations, orchestration, and response
across all Fortinet and its ecosystem deployments. It allows security to
dynamically expand and adapt as more and more workloads and data
are added. Security seamlessly follows and protects data, users, and
applications as they move between IoT, devices, and cloud environments
throughout the network. All this is ties together under a single pane of
glass management for significantly thereby delivering leading security
capabilities across your entire environment while also significantly reducing
complexity.

FortiGates are the foundation of Security Fabric, expanding security

via visibility and control by tightly integrating with other Fortinet security
products and Fabric-Ready Partner solutions.
