Introduction to Fortinet Networking #
Fortinet is a leading provider of network and cybersecurity solutions, known for its integrated approach to network management and security. The Fortinet platform offers a wide range of products—such as firewalls (FortiGate), switches, access points, SD-WAN, and endpoint protection—all designed to work seamlessly together within a single, secure ecosystem.
What sets Fortinet apart is its focus on Security-Driven Networking: networks are designed with built-in security at their core, rather than as an add-on. This means that performance, visibility, and protection are integrated from the ground up. The FortiOS operating system enables centralized management, consistent policy enforcement, and automated threat protection.
Thanks to this integrated approach, Fortinet is particularly well-suited for organizations with high demands for network security, compliance, and scalability—ranging from small businesses to large, distributed enterprises.
