Fortinet, a provider of integrated and automated cybersecurity solutions, announced the release of the industry’s most complete solution offering security for the work-from-anywhere environment that enables organizations to remain secure while employees connect and work off site.

Defending the gaps

Fortinet delivers security, services, and threat intelligence that seamlessly follow users whether on the road, at home, or in the office to provide enterprise-grade protection and productivity. John Maddison, EVP of Products and CMO at Fortinet said, “Cybercriminals have been quick to exploit the expanded attack surface and security gaps created by this shift in work patterns to get a foothold into the corporate network. Today’s enterprise organizations require work-from-anywhere security that is as flexible and dynamic as today’s business demands.”

Fortinet’s services protect employees when travelling, working from home and working in the office through a combination of:

  • Endpoint Security: EPP, EDR, XDR (FortiEDR, FortiXDR)
  • Zero Trust Access: ZTNA (FortiClient, FortiOS, FortiGate) + Identity (FortiAuthenticator, FortiToken)
  • Network Security:  Including Next-generation Firewall (FortiGate + FortiGate-VM), Linksys HomeWRK for Business | Secured by Fortinet and SASE (FortiSASE Remote), depending on the employee’s needs and location

All of the above are available as part of the Fortinet Security Fabric for stronger security, easier management, and lower ownership costs.
