What Is Fortinet Universal SASE?

Fortinet Universal SASE integrates cloud-delivered SD-WAN connectivity with a cloud-delivered security service edge (SSE). Our comprehensive solution is built on a cloud-native architecture and powered by globally distributed and highly scalable points-of-presence. This approach allows organizations to deploy security services and networking functions in the cloud and deliver them as a service. Fortinet Universal SASE is the industry’s only unified, cloud-delivered solution that deeply integrates a range of security services into a single system. The solution includes our market-leading FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW), secure web gateway (SWG), Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS), zero-trust network access (ZTNA), dual-mode CASB (both inline and API-based cloud access security broker), and data loss prevention (DLP).

In addition, Fortinet Universal SASE incorporates Universal ZTNA, which enforces strict access controls and authentication regardless of a user's location or device. Users and devices are authenticated and verified before they are granted access to resources. They are then continuously monitored and authenticated throughout their session, providing deep end-to-end insight into every transaction. Universal SASE also includes comprehensive CASB capabilities, including inline and API support, to monitor and protect the use of cloud applications and data. Fortinet Universal SASE prevents data breaches and ensures comprehensive policy compliance while delivering an optimized user experience for remote workers accessing company resources.
