Overview

Fortinet Unified SASE seamlessly integrates essential networking and security technologies delivered via the cloud. Our innovative approach ensures secure access for the hybrid workforce and safeguards applications and data on any cloud. The FortiOS operating system enables seamless and complete convergence of networking and security.

Single-Vendor SASE

Our single-vendor SASE solution integrates SD-WAN and a cloud-delivered security service edge (SSE) to deliver networking and security to the network edge and remote workers. With over 100 global SASE locations, it secures remote access and protects networks, applications, data (on any cloud), network edges, and new microbranches. 

This diagram describes what are the components and use cases of FortiSASE to secure remote users. FortiSASE includes Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS) and Secure Web Gateway (SWG) that both enable the Secure Internet Access use case. It includes Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and integration with Secure SD-WAN to enable Secure Private Access to corporate applications. And finally, it includes Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) for Secure SaaS Access for full control and visibility over SaaS application access and content.
