Single Pane Automation and Orchestration
Fortinet Security Fabric delivers sophisticated security management for unified, end-to-end protection. Deploying Fortinet-based security
infrastructure to battle advanced threats, and adding FortiManager to provide single-pane-of-glass management across your entire
extended enterprise provides insight into network-wide traffic and threats.
FortiManager offers enterprise-class features to contain advanced threats. FortiManager also delivers the industry’s best scalability to
manage up to 100,000 Fortinet devices. FortiManager, coupled with the FortiAnalyzer family of centralized logging and reporting appliances,
provides a comprehensive and powerful centralized management solution for your organization.
Central Management of Network Infrastructure
Centrally manage FortiGate , FortiSwitch, FortiExtender, FortiAP.
The VPN manager simplifies the deployment and allows centrallyprovisioned VPN community and monitoring of VPN connections
on Google Map. FortiAP Manager allows configuring, deploying
and monitoring FortiAPs from a single console with Google Map
view. The FortiClient Manager allows centralized configuration,
deployment and monitoring of FortiClients.
Centralized SD-WAN Deployment & Monitoring
Powerful SD-WAN management capabilities by using templates.
Enhanced SD-WAN monitoring for each SD-WAN link member
with visibility of link status, application performance, bandwidth
utilization. The SLA targets are included in performance monitoring
graphs for each WAN provider.
Configuration and Settings Management
Collectively configure the device settings - using the provisioning
templates and advance CLI templates improves management of a
large number of devices. Automatic device configuration backup
with revision control and change audit make it easier for daily
administrative tasks.
Security Policy Management
A set of commonly used security policies can be now grouped in a
Policy Block and inserted as needed in different Policy Packages.
Global policy feature that allows companies such as: Telecom,
MSSP, SAAS providers applies a header and/or footer policy
at the ADOM level to all the policy packages or to a selection of
packages, as needed.
API for Automation and Orchestration
RESTful API allows MSSPs/large enterprises to create customized,
branded web portals for policy and object administration.
Automate common tasks such as provisioning new FortiGates
and configuring existing devices. Join Fortinet Developer Network
(FNDN) to access exclusive articles, how-to content for automation
and customization, community-built tools, scripts and sample
code.
Multi-Tenancy & Role Based Administration
FortiManager equips admins with granular device and role based
administration for deploying multi-tenancy architecture to large
enterprises, with a hierarchical objects database to facilitate
re-use of common configurations and serve multiple customers.
The graphical interface makes it easy to view, create, clone and
manage ADOMs. You can use ADOMs to manage independent
security environments, each ADOM with its own security policies
and configuration database. FortiManager enables you to group
devices logically or geographically for flexible management, and
the zero-touch deployment uses templates to provision devices
for quick mass deployment and supports firmware version
enforcement. Define global objects such as Firewall Objects,
Policies and Security Profiles to share across multiple ADOMs.
Granular permissions allow assigning ADOMs, devices and policies
to users based on role and duties.
Monitor and Report for Deep Visibility
Access vital security and network statistics, as well as real-time
monitoring and integrated reporting provides visibility into network
and user activity. For more powerful analytics, combine with a
FortiAnalyzer appliance for additional data mining and graphical
reporting capabilities.
Integration & Security Fabric
Integration with ITSM to mitigate security events and apply
configuration changes and policy updates. Seamless integration
with FortiAnalyzer appliances provides in-depth discovery, analysis,
prioritization and reporting of network security events. Create fabric
connectors to facilitate connections with third-party vendors via
pxGrid , OCI, ESXi and others, to share and exchange data.
FortiManager’s workflow for audit and compliance enables you
to review, approve and audit policy changes from a central place,
including automated processes to facilitate policy compliance,
policy lifecycle management, and enforced workflow to reduce risk
for policy changes.
Network & Security Operations Visibility
Automated data exchanges between security (SOC) workflows and
operational (NOC) workflows, creating a single, complete workflow
that not only saves time, but also provides the capacity to complete
additional incident response activities. FortiManager’s NOC-SOC
delivers advanced data visualization to help Analysts quickly
connect dots and identify threats, simplifying how organizations
deliver security and remediate breaches, data exfiltration, and
compromised hosts.
