Okt 18, 2022 — New capabilities in Fortinet’s secure access service edge (SASE) package are designed to help customers better secure their private and cloud-based assets.

Fortinet added Secure Private Access and Secure SaaS Access features to its FortiSASE security platform, which includes SD-WAN, secure web gateway, firewall as a service, and zero-trust network access. All of Fortinet’s offerings run on top of its FortiOS operating system.

The Secure Private Access capability lets branch customers access Fortinet’s cloud-based SD-WAN connectivity features to ensure secure remote communications with private cloud applications.

“The idea is to let customers take advantage of our existing SD-WAN capabilities, including Fortinet Universal ZTNA, right inside the point of presence to further allow secure private access,” said Nirav Shah, vice president of products with Fortinet. “Now those users who are working remotely can get that secure private access with better user experience without making any changes to their existing network architecture.”
