\n<\/h2>\n

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fortinet\u00ae<\/sup> (NASDAQ: FTNT), the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, today announced the FortiLink SASE Service, giving organizations a simpler way to secure small branch office, remote facilities, and other distributed locations without requiring a dedicated on-site firewall. By connecting local networks to FortiSASE, organizations can protect and manage wired and wireless devices through a simplified, cloud-delivered service while managing networking and security from a single console.<\/p>\n

\u201cOrganizations need flexibility in how they secure distributed locations, particularly where dedicated security infrastructure or agents may not be practical,\u201d said Anthony James, EVP of Marketing at Fortinet. \u201cBy extending FortiSASE to local networks, we’re giving organizations a simpler way to protect users and devices while maintaining consistent security and centralized control.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Simplifying Security Across Distributed Locations<\/strong>
\n
Organizations operating small branch offices, remote facilities, and temporary sites often need to secure a mix of employee devices, printers, cameras, and IoT equipment with limited on-site IT resources. Many of these devices cannot run traditional endpoint security agents, while deploying dedicated firewalls at every location can introduce additional cost and complexity.<\/p>\n

The FortiLink SASE Service addresses these challenges by connecting local networks to FortiSASE through supported Fortinet Wi-Fi access points and Ethernet switches. This gives organizations the flexibility to extend consistent security across distributed locations without requiring an on-site FortiGate firewall, while centralizing traffic inspection, policy enforcement, and management.
