As users continue to work from anywhere and IoT devices flood networks and operational environments, continuous verification of all users and devices as they access corporate applications and data is needed. To protect networks and applications, network administrators must implement a zero-trust access approach and provide least access privileges. Implementing zero-trust access includes requiring strong authentication capabilities, powerful network access control tools, and pervasive application access policies.
Applying the zero-trust security model to application access makes it possible for organizations to move away from the use of a traditional virtual private network (VPN) tunnel that provides unrestricted access to the network. Zero-trust network access (ZTNA) solutions grant access on a per-session basis to individual applications only after devices and users are verified. This ZTNA policy is also applied when users are on the network, which provides the same zero-trust model no matter the user's location.
Fortinet delivers advanced endpoint protection to stop threats and ransomware from infecting your devices. Our EDR solution also hunts threats that may be lurking in your system. Near real-time, automated threat intelligence from FortiGuard Labs ensures users are protected—without manual oversight —from known threats and unseen variants. Integrated network and endpoint security give administrators visibility and control from a single device and ensure consistent policies (like web and content filtering) are enforced, even when users are off network.
Lack of security for remote users and inability to maintain consistent security posture for users anywhere
Traditional VPN based access lacks necessary granular access control
Siloed point products and agents lead to complex operations, and lack of comprehensive visibility
With employees often working from anywhere, their devices need strong security even outside the network
"Network operations and network security leaders looking to support the anywhere, anytime access requirements of a distributed, hybrid workforce should consider an integrated, cloud-centric solution"
