Fortinet’s Technology Portfolio: Securing Every Layer of Business
Fortinet offers a diverse range of products designed to secure every aspect of a business’s IT environment, from the edge to the core. Below are some of the key areas where our partnership with Fortinet delivers substantial value to our clients.
Next-Generation Firewalls (FortiGate)
Fortinet’s FortiGate firewalls are at the heart of their security solutions, providing advanced threat protection, secure connectivity, and comprehensive control over network traffic. These firewalls offer industry-leading performance without compromising on security, making them an essential component of any business’s security strategy.
How We Collaborate: At Nextware, we deploy FortiGate firewalls for businesses of all sizes, tailoring configurations to meet the specific needs of each client. Whether it’s a small office requiring entry-level protection or a large enterprise needing high-performance firewall solutions, we ensure that our clients have the appropriate defenses in place. FortiGate firewalls offer features like intrusion prevention, web filtering, and VPN support, all while maintaining high throughput, making them ideal for businesses that need both security and speed.
Secure SD-WAN Solutions
As businesses increasingly rely on cloud services and distributed workforces, secure SD-WAN has become a critical component of modern networking. Fortinet’s FortiGate Secure SD-WAN solution ensures that businesses can achieve superior application performance and security while reducing the complexity and cost of traditional WAN architectures.
How We Collaborate: We work with clients to implement Fortinet’s Secure SD-WAN solutions, allowing them to manage multiple branch offices, remote locations, or hybrid work environments efficiently. By integrating SD-WAN capabilities directly into the FortiGate firewalls, our clients can ensure secure, high-performance connectivity across all their locations without compromising on security. This makes Fortinet’s SD-WAN solutions particularly valuable for businesses with multiple offices or those that rely on cloud-based applications.
Endpoint Security (FortiClient)
Endpoint security is critical to ensuring that devices connected to a network are protected from malware, ransomware, and other threats. Fortinet’s FortiClient offers comprehensive protection for endpoints, combining next-generation antivirus, web filtering, and advanced threat detection in a single solution.
How We Collaborate: Our clients benefit from FortiClient’s powerful endpoint protection, particularly in environments where employees work remotely or bring their own devices to the office. We implement FortiClient to ensure that every endpoint is secured, no matter where it’s located. The ability to monitor and control devices from a central console means our clients can maintain security and compliance with ease, even in the face of a mobile workforce.
Advanced Threat Protection (FortiSandbox)
Fortinet’s FortiSandbox is a critical component for businesses that need advanced threat detection and prevention. By isolating and analyzing suspicious files in a sandbox environment, FortiSandbox detects zero-day threats and sophisticated malware that other security tools might miss.
How We Collaborate: For clients requiring an additional layer of protection against advanced threats, we deploy FortiSandbox to ensure that any potential malware or malicious files are safely examined before they can cause damage. This is especially valuable for industries such as finance and healthcare, where the risks of a data breach are exceptionally high.
Network Access Control (FortiNAC)
Ensuring that only authorized users and devices have access to sensitive network resources is a critical security need. Fortinet’s FortiNAC provides network access control (NAC) solutions that allow businesses to automatically identify and secure every device connected to their network.
How We Collaborate: We help businesses implement FortiNAC to ensure that their networks are protected from unauthorized devices and rogue actors. By controlling access to the network, our clients can maintain a strong security posture, even as they onboard new devices and users. FortiNAC is particularly useful for businesses with BYOD policies, guest networks, or IoT deployments.
Cloud Security
As more businesses migrate to the cloud, securing cloud environments has become paramount. Fortinet provides a range of solutions to secure both public and private cloud infrastructures, including FortiWeb for web application security and FortiCWP (Cloud Workload Protection) for securing cloud-based workloads.
How We Collaborate: Our clients benefit from Fortinet’s cloud security solutions as they transition their operations to the cloud. We help them secure their applications, workloads, and data in the cloud, ensuring compliance with industry regulations and protecting against cloud-specific threats like misconfigurations and data leaks. Whether clients are using AWS, Microsoft Azure, or a hybrid cloud environment, we ensure their cloud infrastructure is fortified.
Tailoring Fortinet Solutions to Client Needs
At Nextware, we pride ourselves on delivering customized security solutions that match the individual needs of our clients. We understand that no two businesses are alike, and we tailor our approach to meet their unique risk profiles, budgets, and growth objectives.
