Unified Data Lake, Visibility, and Automation
What is FortiAnalyzer?
FortiAnalyzer is software that collects and analyses security logs from Fortinet devices. It gives IT and security teams clear visibility into network activity, helps investigate incidents, supports compliance reporting, and stores historical data for auditing and analysis.
With built-in incident management, high-performance data ingestion, and multi-tenant support, FortiAnalyzer enables security teams to meet compliance requirements, accelerate investigations, and maintain full operational visibility across on-premises, cloud and hybrid environments.
As a certified UK Fortinet partner, we setup FortiAnalyzer Cloud subscriptions for enterprise and data-centre networks.
Cloud Deployment
FortiAnalyzer is available as a virtual appliance in major public cloud platforms, providing centralised analytics without the overhead of on-premises infrastructure.
- Public Cloud Support (AWS, Azure, GCP)
Deploy FortiAnalyzer as a VM instance to analyse logs from cloud-native workloads, FortiGate-VM firewalls, and hybrid Fabric deployments. - Built-in cloud resilience
Leveraging native availability features to maintain continuous log collection and analytics. - Deep API-driven visibility
Into cloud workloads, security events and configuration changes for accurate, real-time insight. - Elastic cloud scale
High-volume log ingestion, extended retention and multi-site analytics without on-premises infrastructure.
As a certified Fortinet partner, Steel City Consulting can seamlessly set up your FortiAnalyzer Cloud subscription. Visit our FortiAnalyzer Cloud page for more details and to request a quote.
Hybrid Deployment
- Combine a cloud analytics instance with on-prem collectors or FortiGate/FortiManager devices to maintain unified visibility across data centres, branch sites and multi-cloud estates.
On-Premises Deployment
- FortiAnalyzer can be deployed as hardware or a virtual appliance in local data centres for organisations requiring strict data localisation or isolate SOC environments.
