\u201cWe are honored to be recognized as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for SASE Platforms and believe this recognition validates our commitment to organic innovation\u2014building a unified, AI-powered platform that spans all SASE use cases,\u201d said Nirav\u00a0Shah, Senior Vice President of Products and Solutions at Fortinet. \u201cWe believe being positioned in the Leaders quadrant in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for SASE Platforms affirms our strategy of blending proven secure SD\u2011WAN, universal ZTNA, and AI\u2011powered threat protection under a single operating system, FortiOS, and one license for added simplicity and faster ROI.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n The most unified, flexible, and intelligent SASE platform<\/strong>
\n
This latest recognition, in Fortinet\u2019s view, validates its unified\u2011platform strategy for secure digital acceleration. It follows Fortinet\u2019s acknowledgement as a Leader in the 2024\u00a0Gartner\u00a0Magic Quadrant for SD\u2011WAN for the fifth consecutive year\u2014where it was positioned highest for Ability to Execute\u2014as well as being named a 2024\u00a0Gartner\u00a0Peer\u00a0Insights\u2122 Customers\u2019 Choice for Security\u00a0Service\u00a0Edge (SSE)<\/a>, and a 2025\u00a0Customers\u2019 Choice for SD-WAN<\/a> and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n Fortinet Unified SASE<\/a> is built natively on FortiOS, delivering consistent security and user experience from campus to cloud to remote users through a single-vendor platform.

Monthly product innovations, including AI-driven security workflows, keep the platform ahead of evolving threats and business needs.<\/p>\n

\n Powering High-Performance Branch Experiences and Sovereign SASE at Global Scale<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

Fortinet believes the\u00a0recognition in Secure Branch Network Modernization use case in the Gartner Critical Capabilities for SASE Platforms report also\u00a0underscores the company\u2019s strength in helping customers replace legacy architectures like MPLS with a simplified, high-performance branch experience. Organizations can rapidly deploy new sites using zero-touch provisioning and centralized orchestration, significantly reducing the time and effort typically required to roll out branch locations. By converging networking and security at the edge, Fortinet empowers IT teams to deliver secure, scalable access with reduced operational overhead and lower total cost of ownership with seamless integration between secure SD-WAN and SSE that can be completed in minutes.<\/p>\n

Fortinet continues to differentiate itself in a fast-growing market projected by Gartner to exceed $28.5 billion by 2028, with ongoing investment in its global SASE infrastructure, simplified packaging, and partner enablement. These efforts reflect Fortinet\u2019s commitment to helping customers, channel partners, and service providers capitalize on the growing demand for hybrid work security, branch modernization, and the ability meet data sovereignty needs for regulated industries like finance, healthcare, and government.<\/p>\n

\n Analyst and Customer Validation<\/strong>
\n
Fortinet\u2019s Leader position in SASE adds to the company\u2019s broader recognition across the cybersecurity industry, including being acknowledged in 11 Gartner Magic Quadrant reports spanning security and networking. In addition to being named a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for both SASE Platforms and SD-WAN, Fortinet remains the only vendor recognized as a Customers\u2019 Choice across all core components of SASE\u2014SD-WAN, SSE, and ZTNA\u2014according to Gartner Peer Insights\u2122.\u00a0Fortinet believes these distinctions further validate Fortinet\u2019s Security Fabric platform strategy and its ability to unify security and networking across every edge.<\/p>\n
