Fortinet FortiManager-100

FortiManager FortiManager-100

The FortiManager family of appliances supply the tools needed to effectively manage any size Fortinet security infrastructure, from a few devices to thousands of appliances and end-point security agents. The appliances provide centralized policy-based provisioning, configuration, and update management for FortiGate, FortiWiFi, and FortiMail appliances, as well as FortiClient end point security agents. They also offer end-to-end network monitoring for added control. FortiManager delivers a lower TCO for Fortinet implementations by minimizing both initial deployment costs and ongoing operating expenses. Managers can control administrative access and simplify policy deployment using role-based administration to define user privileges for specific management domains and functions by aggregating collections of Fortinet appliances and agents into independent management domains. By locally hosting security content updates for managed devices and agents, FortiManager appliances minimize Web filtering rating request response time and maximize network protection.

Managing Network Security

Networks are under constant attack from threats that aim to infect systems, steal confidential information, relay spam, cause denial of service conditions and more. Managing a security infrastructure to combat these threats is increasingly challenging as networks grow in size and complexity. Network and security administrators have traditionally deployed and maintained multiple security products to protect their networks, but are increasingly realizing the operational benefits of the Fortinet family of multi-threat security systems. FortiGate™ appliances and FortiClient™ end-point security systems allow administrators to consolidate their and simplify their security infrastructure. Yet managing multiple Fortinet products without a centralized management solution can still limit network-wide visibility and result in unnecessary management overhead.

Centralized Security Management

FortiManager centralized management appliances deliver the essential tools necessary to effectively manage the smallest to the largest Fortinetbased security infrastructures. Whether deploying a few or thousands of new devices or agents, distributing updates or installing security policies across managed assets, FortiManager appliances simplify tasks commonly associated with managing FortiGate devices and FortiClient agents. Device discovery, group management, auditing facilities and the ability to manage complex mesh and star VPN environments are just of a few of the time-saving features that FortiManager appliances offer. Complemented by the FortiAnalyzer™ centralized logging and reporting appliance, the FortiManager appliance is a comprehensive and powerful centralized management solution.
