Small Businesses Deserve Secure Applications
Businesses run on applications. Whether those apps are financial systems, online storefronts, customer management tools, or something else, it is critical that access to those applications is controlled and that the applications and data are secured. Fortinet offers cost-effective, enterprise-grade security for SMB apps that is easy to set up and manage, reducing the burden on IT staff.
Application-Aware Security
Modern applications are often dynamic, able to scale up or down as business needs change and dynamically assign ports depending on traffic needs. Your security needs to be equally dynamic.
Fortinet security solutions utilize SDN connectors to integrate into the underlying cloud platform, so the FortiGate is informed as new servers are deployed or as new ports are used. Our solution also identifies what applications are in use and automatically applies appropriate security policies.
Secure Application Access with SASE
Securing a remote workforce presents significant challenges for businesses such as the complexity of managing diverse devices and networks from various locations, and getting visibility on access to applications. This increases the vulnerability to cyber threats such as malware, phishing, and data breaches.
Remote user access can be enforced with the Fortinet SASE solution, which includes FortiSASE and its agent, FortiClient. FortiSASE is a simple, intuitive, and scalable cloud-delivered security solution that seamlessly expands security to remote workers. SASE enables secure access to the web, cloud, and applications, for the remote workforce.

Deployment Complexity
Organizations often have too many disparate tools and platforms. This added complexity can lead to mistakes and compromise security
Expanded Attack Surface
Every system, cloud, edge, and device connected to a network may be vulnerable to attack
