\u201cWe\u2019re pleased that our zero-trust approach to securing the expanding edges of today\u2019s networks is being recognized by Forrester. We believe that the critical convergence of networking and security must be everywhere and are proud to be one of the only vendors to lead in firewall, SD-WAN, and Zero Trust Edge reports. For us, this recognition validates our continuing commitment to developing one of the leading single-vendor SASE solutions on the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n News Summary <\/strong>
\n
\n Fortinet<\/a>\u00ae (NASDAQ: FTNT), the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, today announced that Fortinet has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave\u2122: Zero Trust Edge Solutions, Q3 2023 report. The 32-criterion evaluation identifies the most significant vendors and evaluates their zero-trust edge (ZTE) solutions. Fortinet tied for the highest score in the strategy category.<\/p>\n

\n Secure Networking with ZTE, Also Known as SASE<\/strong>
\n
Also known as secure access service edge (SASE), a ZTE architecture merges and delivers networking and security functions as a service using a combination of zero-trust network access (ZTNA), secure web gateways, and cloud security gateways.<\/p>\n

The Fortinet FortiSASE platform converges cloud-delivered security, including secure web gateway, Universal ZTNA, next-generation dual-mode CASB, Firewall-as-a-Service, and Secure SD-WAN networking. Powered by a single operating system, FortiOS, FortiGuard AI-Powered Intrusion Prevention Security Services, and a unified FortiClient agent, FortiSASE helps improve efficiency and delivers consistent security everywhere. By bringing together all of the components needed to converge networking and security, it protects the hybrid workforce with zero implicit trust and helps organizations reduce complexity and consolidate point products. In the report, Forrester points out that Fortinet \u201cdifferentiated itself in the market by developing and integrating networking functions such as routing into its remote office firewalls, which eases the rollout of its ZTE solution with a unified management interface.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Forrester report also states, \u201cFortinet balances security and networking with eye-popping value.\u201d The report goes on to state, \u201cOne of the most compelling aspects of the Fortinet value proposition is its cost. As with its firewalls, the Fortinet option is priced quite literally an order of magnitude lower than the vendor\u2019s most expensive competitors.\u201d FortiSASE can help organizations securely and seamlessly reduce complexity and maximize their return on investment.<\/p>\n
