Q4: What management and visibility tools are available for large enterprises?
Enterprises can centralise management through FortiManager and gain detailed analytics with FortiAnalyzer. These tools streamline policy orchestration, threat hunting, compliance reporting, and lifecycle management across thousands of devices globally.
Q5: What role do Fortinet Firewalls play in a Zero Trust strategy?
FortiGate appliances enforce Zero Trust through user identity verification, micro-segmentation, and ZTNA policies that restrict access to applications based on context and trust level. This reduces attack surfaces and aligns with modern enterprise Zero Trust frameworks.
Q6: How do Fortinet Firewalls use AI and machine learning for threat detection?
FortiGate firewalls connect to FortiGuard Labs, which applies AI and machine learning to analyse billions of threat events globally. This enables rapid identification of zero-day attacks, advanced malware, and evolving ransomware campaigns.
