To power up the unified SASE solution, Fortinet revealed the addition of sovereign SASE and generative AI (GenAI) capabilities. For seamless management, visibility, and security, Fortinet Unified SASE offers total integration between cloud-delivered security service edge (SSE) and Fortinet’s Secure SD-WAN solution under a single platform. The company’s goal of providing clients with a complete and incredibly adaptable unified SASE solution is furthered by the latest upgrades that were revealed today.
Hybrid networks require a truly unified SASE solution.
The majority of SASE systems on the market today are fragmented, requiring a large number of agents and management interfaces to provide only mediocre visibility and security enforcement. There are security holes and high maintenance costs associated with this complexity. Fortinet is exceptional in that it can genuinely integrate SD-WAN and SSE to produce a unified SASE solution that is driven by a single operating system, management console, endpoint agent, and data lake. All the essential SASE features are offered by Fortinet Unified SASE, along with the most adaptable connectivity in the market (access points and switches), intelligent AI integrations with unified management, end-to-end digital experience monitoring (DEM), and consistent, zero-trust security policy enforcement for both on-premises and cloud environments.
The Importance of Flexible Connectivity: Sovereign SASE
According to Gartner, “Buyers are increasingly demanding more options for data and cloud sovereignty, including where traffic is routed, where it is inspected, and where logs are stored.”
Businesses in highly regulated industries with sensitive data, such as finance, government, and healthcare, should be especially aware of this. With the full SASE delivery option offered by New Fortinet Sovereign, enterprises can continue to have local control over data and inspections. Large businesses and service providers can benefit from increased security and flexibility, as well as strong data privacy and compliance.
Customers can choose where security inspections take place and how their data is routed with Fortinet Sovereign SASE, whether it is to a partner, client, or Fortinet-owned data center, all while knowing that their traffic is safeguarded by Fortinet’s whole security stack.
FortiAI for SD-WAN brings the power of GenAI to unified SASE.
In order to help IT and cybersecurity professionals make smarter decisions more quickly, GenAI has become an essential tool. The complete SD-WAN architecture may now be managed and orchestrated by Fortinet Secure SD-WAN using FortiAI, the company’s GenAI assistant. Day 0 through Day 2 operations, such as visual and configuration support, consulting, and troubleshooting, are expedited and improved by this integration. Clients may now more quickly and effectively deploy and manage their SD-WAN solutions than in the past.
Continuous innovation delivers advanced features to Fortinet unified SASE.
In order to help organizations meet their evolving needs and keep one step ahead of attackers, Fortinet is dedicated to ongoing SASE development and offers updates every month.
Recent Fortinet unified SASE updates include:
The FortiSASE cloud-based management panel now offers native configuration for remote browser isolation (RBI), enabling organizations to isolate user web browsing traffic and safeguard sensitive data from online threats.
Better network performance for on-demand complete mesh networks and self-healing features that address problems in real time while constructing autonomous SD-WAN networks are now encouraged by Fortinet Secure SD-WAN.
Fortinet Unified SASE’s native SCIM support makes users and groups created on the identity provider instantly available in the SASE portal, streamlining management and operations. As a result, there is less need for cooperation between various IT departments, which streamlines administrative work and increases productivity.
