Vendor Profile

Fortinet FortiSASE

Fortinet FortiSASE converges Fortinet's security and networking capabilities into a unified cloud-delivered SASE solution powered by FortiOS, the same operating system running on FortiGate firewalls worldwide. FortiSASE delivers SD-WAN, SWG, CASB, DLP, ZTNA, and FWaaS through Fortinet's global PoP network, enabling consistent security policies across on-premises and cloud environments. Its key advantage is leveraging the FortiGuard Labs threat intelligence — one of the largest security research teams globally — and offering competitive pricing that undercuts pure-play SASE vendors, making enterprise-grade SASE accessible to mid-market organizations.
