Fortinet
Fortinet describes itself as a cybersecurity company that secures devices, data and applications from the data center to the home office. It is not automotive-specific, and is listed here because dealerships carry network and data security obligations.
Fortinet: Secure networking
Its site groups its offerings into secure networking, unified SASE and security operations, with endpoint products and a product demo center.
| Product or service | Function |
|---|---|
| Secure networking | Network security and the convergence of networking and security. |
| Unified SASE | Cloud-centric security for a hybrid workforce. |
| FortiEndpoint | Endpoint protection with EDR. |
| Security operations | Tools including FortiSOAR for security automation. |
| Product demos | A demo center for exploring products. |
Network firewalls and remote access
Fortinet's product catalog separates next-generation firewalls, secure SD-WAN, FortiSASE and security-operations tools. A firewall protects a network boundary; SD-WAN concerns connectivity between locations; SASE supplies cloud-based access controls for users working away from that boundary. fortinet.com
A dealership with multiple rooftops should identify which of these is being supplied at each site and for remote employees. That determines the equipment, management and service components to compare, rather than assuming that one firewall purchase covers every off-site connection. fortinet.com
