Fortinet FortiManager 400E
Centralized Security Management

Highlights:

Multi-Tenancy and Heirarchical — Administrative Domains (ADOMs)

FortiManager provides a hierarchical objects database to facilitate re-use of common configurations and a multi-tenancy architecture to serve multiple customers. The graphical interface makes it easy to view, create and manage ADOMs. You can use ADOMs to manage independent security environments, each ADOM with its own security policies and configuration database. FortiManager enables you to group devices logically or geographically for flexible management, and the zero-touch deployment uses templates to provision devices for quick mass deployment. Define global objects such as Firewall Objects, Policies and Security Profiles to share across multiple ADOMs. Granular permissions allow assigning ADOMs, devices and policies to users based on role and duties.

Configuration and Settings Management

Collectively configure the device settings, objects and policies across your network from a single user interface. The VPN manager simplifies the deployment and allows centrallyprovisioned VPN community and monitoring of VPN connections on Google Map. FortiAP Manager allows configuring, deploying and monitoring FortiAPs from a single console with Google Map view. The FortiClient Manager allows centralized configuration, deployment, and monitoring of FortiClients. FortiManager also provides the ability to centrally manage up to 100,000 FortiGate security appliances.

Workflow for Audit and Compliance

FortiManager enables you to review, approve and audit policy changes from a central place, including automated processes to facilitate policy compliance, policy lifecycle management, and enforced workflow to reduce risk for policy changes.

Locally Hosted FortiGuard Labs Security Content

Host security content locally for greater control over security content updates and improved response time for rating database. Includes support for: Application Control and Intrusion Prevention updates, Vulnerability Management, Antispam, Antivirus and Web Filtering updates.

Monitor and Report for Deep Visibility

Access vital security and network statistics, as well as realtime monitoring and integrated reporting provides visibility into network and user activity. For more powerful analytics, combine with a FortiAnalyzer appliance for additional data mining and graphical reporting capabilities.

Managed FortiAP & FortiExtender

Centrally manage FortiAP access points that are controlled by FortiGate devices, through FortiManager. WiFi Templates allow you to create and manage AP profiles, SSIDs, and Wireless Intrusion Detection System (WIDS) profiles and assign to managed FortiAP devices. View FortiGate controllers on a map and monitor connected clients and information about all the APs for FortiGates (fig 2). FortiExtender can be used as a primary connection or deployed as a backup connection to ensure reliability.

Managed FortiAnalyzer

You can now use the new Add FortiAnalyzer device wizard to add a FortiAnalyzer unit to FortiManager to better support managed devices with logging enabled. All devices with logging enabled will automatically send logs to the FortiAnalyzer device. You can use FortiManager to remotely access FortiView, Log View, Events Managements, and Reports on the managed FortiAnalyzer unit.

API for Automation and Orchestration

RESTful API allows MSSPs/large enterprises to create customized, branded web portals for policy and object administration. Automate common tasks such as provisioning new FortiGates and configuring existing devices. Join Fortinet Developer Network (FNDN) to access exclusive articles, how-to content for automation and customization, community-built tools, scripts and sample code.

Central SD-WAN Deployment and Monitoring

Centrally monitor SD-WAN performance. Monitor your devices on Map view with color coded icons and mouse over to view health performance statistics for each SDWAN link member. Table View provides more granular information for each SD-WAN link member, including link status, application performance and bandwidth usage.

Switch Management

The FortiSwitch Manager module enables you to centrally manage FortiSwitch templates and VLANs, and monitor FortiSwitch devices that are connected to FortiGate devices. You can configure multiple templates for specific FortiSwitch platforms that can be assigned to multiple devices. View as a graphical representation of the connected FortiSwitch devices.
