Fortinet FortiPortal
Cloud-Based Security Policy Management and Analytics for MSPs

Insights

FortiPortal Insights provides a centralized location for organizations to view important security and device information with intuitive charts and tables, allowing users to get a real-time picture of their network traffic and security posture, and assisting with comprehensive analysis and investigation of applications, devices, policies, and network resources.

Dashboard provides helpful visualizations to give users a first glimpse and overall picture of their network traffic and security posture including filter-able and intuitive widgets for Top Countries, Top Threats, Top Sources, Top Destinations, Top Applications, and Policy Hits as well as graphics to show Admin Logins, System Events, and Resource Usage. Users can drill-down on the widgets to explore and investigate further and select a predefined time range or specify a time to display and investigate.

Monitors delivers comprehensive visibility into devices and network resources. The monitors display historical timelines on security and event information by application, source, or destination with controls that allow easy navigation. There are Top Threats, Top Sources, Top Destinations, Policy Hits as well as Top Application, Top Browsing Users, and Top Website Domain views providing intuitive FortiViews that can be filtered with predefined or custom time ranges.

Customers can also gain meaningful insights into network activity for SSL and Dialup, and Site-to-Site IPsec VPNs.

Health provides insightful widgets for monitoring Device Uptime, Network Configuration Status and Policy and Object Status with drill-down, and Top CPU Load, Top Memory Usage, and Top Number of Sessions on multiple devices. Device tab also shows historical information on Bandwidth usage, Session, and Session rate on individual device.

Logs allows users to research further with FortiGate Event and UTM data such as Traffic, IPS, Antivirus, DNS, Application Control, Web Filter, Event, and Sandbox logs. Insights’ Logs allow users to filter logs by type, site, date, and time as well as filters to choose data from many columns and fields. Users can also export filtered log results into a CSV file for allowing a more thorough analysis, sharing of results, or auditing and compliance purposes.

Switch

Switch Monitoring has an at-a-glance summary page on the connected clients showing important information such as VLAN, port, and client’s software and hardware information. It also shows tags on clients that are on-boarded based on NAC or Dynamic Port policy. Under the Switch view, it has critical information on the Switch infrastructure such as the number of connected clients to a switch, native VLANs, allowed VLANs, PoE status, and traffic counters on each port.

WiFi

WiFi Monitoring offers information on the connected clients and access points (APs). The Clients view provides visibility on which AP a client is connected to as well as information on Signal Strength, Signal Strength to Noise Ratio, and traffic counters allowing easy troubleshooting. There are also options to view a client’s traffic details and dissociate the client from an AP. With the Access Point view, it provides details on the WiFi infrastructure. It has real-time status on channel utilization and any potential interfering SSIDs on an access point.

Secure SD-WAN

SD-WAN helps organizations evolve beyond traditional WAN architectures and archaic MPLS services and open their networks to direct internet access, simplified management, increased options for connection types with vendor selections at reduced costs.

FortiPortal makes it easy for enterprises and service providers to configure and monitor secure SD-WAN by enabling organizations to modernize their traditional WAN networks to meet the growing needs of the digital evolution.

SD-WAN Monitoring dashboard provides centralized monitoring for both secure SD-WAN Sites and SD-WAN Devices for a consolidated view of the SD-WAN network including a map view and widgets for Healthy Devices, Unhealthy Devices, and Offline Devices with drill-down to intuitive tables by device for diagnostic visibility of Interface, Performance SLA, Jitter, Latency, Packet Loss, Sessions, and Bandwidth.

SD-WAN Configuration allows ease of management of SDWAN configurations on a single device or multiple devices with templates containing essential settings such as SDWAN interface members, Performance SLAs, and SD-WAN rules.

Security

The Security menu offers three different options for users to centrally manage and configure the devices managed by FortiManager units. This activity includes basic network settings to connect devices to corporate networks, and to define antivirus profiles, intrusion protection signatures, web filtering rules, application control profiles, and access rules for the devices.

Policy provides users with a transparent view and access to policies and objects for configuration tasks that were delegated by the service provider, and as defined on the FortiManager. Policy view is hierarchal and it shows policy packages associated with either one or more FortiGate devices or VDOMs, or all devices within an ADOM. Users can also export the policies to a CSV file for auditing.

Firewall Objects enables users to view and manage items such as policy objects like addresses, schedules, services, and Virtual IPs, as well as User Definitions and User Groups. Customers can also have access to UTM security profiles for services such as antivirus, intrusion protection, web filtering, and application control.

Network allows users to configure essential networking settings, such as static routes and DHCP server settings. It also permits the configuration of IPSec VPN on the devices.

Reports

FortiPortal Reports enables service providers to easily create and assign reports to an organization. The Reports page displays a list of available FortiAnalyzer reports and permits users to select reports, search reports, and run reports on demand based on the reports assigned to them by the service provider. Reports are available in various formats.

Additional Resources

The Additional Info page provides links to important FortiPortal references and documentation added by the service provider such as manuals, reference guides, and links to important updates or information.

Audit

The Audit module displays logs on user activity with the administrative web interface by date which can be searched by level, user name, event type, IP, or message description. There is also the option to export the logs to a CSV file for further analyses.
