Fortinet Security Fabric

Security Fabric
The Security Fabric is the cybersecurity platform that enables digital
innovations. It delivers broad visibility of the entire attack surface to
better manage risk. It’s unified and integrated solution reduces the
complexity of supporting multiple- point products, while automated
workflows increase operational speeds and reduce response times
across the Fortinet deployment ecosystem. The Fortinet Security
Fabric overs the following key areas under a single management
center:

§ Security-Driven Networking that secures, accelerates, and

unifies the network and user experience
§ Zero Trust Network Access that identifies and secures users
and devices in real-time, on and off of the network
§ Dynamic Cloud Security that protects and controls cloud
infrastructures and applications
§ AI-Driven Security Operations that automatically prevents,
detects, isolates, and responds to cyber threat

FortiOS
FortiGates are the foundation of the Fortinet Security Fabric—the § Control thousands of applications, block the latest exploits, and
