SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

News Summary

Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT), the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, today announced it has been recognized as a Challenger in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Security Service Edge (SSE). This recognition follows Fortinet’s recent placement as a Leader and the highest in ability to execute in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for SD-WAN for the fourth consecutive year — we believe this further validates Fortinet’s vision and execution in delivering a unified SASE platform.

“We continue to demonstrate strong momentum, innovation, and growth in the SSE market,” said Nirav Shah, Senior Vice President, Products and Solutions at Fortinet. “We believe Fortinet’s placement in the Challengers quadrant is a testament to our growing adoption, positive customer feedback, aggressive roadmap execution with monthly releases, and ever-expanding market share. Our focus is on delivering real outcomes through flexible deployment models, seamless integration with existing infrastructure, and consistent AI-powered security wherever users connect.”

A Differentiated SSE Experience
With FortiSASE, Fortinet delivers the most unified, flexible, and intelligent solution on the market today, enabling secure access from anywhere while reducing complexity, enhancing user experience, and strengthening security across hybrid environments. Key differentiators include:

  • Unified solution: Unlike many fragmented offerings, FortiSASE is built on a single operating system, FortiOS, a unified management console, endpoint agent, and centralized data lake. This cohesive architecture ensures consistent security policy enforcement and streamlined operations across all environments from on-premises to the cloud. The integration of Fortinet Secure SD-WAN with cloud-delivered SSE, and digital experience monitoring (DEM) under one platform provides comprehensive visibility and control, reducing complexity and potential security gaps.

  • Flexible connectivity: FortiSASE offers unparalleled flexibility to accommodate a wide range of organizational needs by supporting BYOD, contractors, agent-based, and agentless devices, as well as third-party SD-WAN solutions, facilitating seamless integration into existing infrastructures. Fortinet is also investing in building its own global cloud infrastructure, further enhancing performance, scalability, and control across its SASE services. Fortinet Sovereign SASE gives organizations flexibility and control over their data, especially in regulated sectors like finance and healthcare. Organizations can also integrate FortiSASE with Fortinet’s WLAN/LAN portfolio to secure thin edge locations without the need for additional appliances or agents, ensuring comprehensive protection even in resource-constrained environments.

  • Intelligent innovation: FortiSASE, powered by FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services, delivers broad protection through integrated capabilities like secure web gateway (SWG), universal zero-trust network access (ZTNA), cloud access security broker (CASB), Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS), and remote browser isolation (RBI), all managed from a single unified console. Security teams can enforce zero-trust policies to manage access and data flows to generative AI (GenAI) apps, gaining visibility into usage patterns, destinations, and enabling enterprise-wide AI governance.
