Fortinet a Challenger in the 2023 Gartner Magic Quadrant for single-vendor SASE

Fortinet, the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, has announced that it has been named a Challenger in the 2023 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Single-Vendor SASE*. This Magic Quadrant is the first of its kind, and Fortinet is one of eight vendors included. Fortinet is recognised for its ability to execute and completeness of vision.

Fortinet said that the recognition of its secure access service edge (SASE) solution is a result of its ability to deliver:

Converged SD-WAN and cloud-delivered security

FortiSASE seamlessly converges cloud-delivered security, including secure web gateway (SWG), Universal Zero Trust network access (ZTNA), next-generation dual-mode cloud access security broker (CASB), and Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS), with Fortinet’s Secure SD-WAN networking solution.

Consistent security for the hybrid workforce

Powered by FortiOS, FortiSASE provides uniform security for users no matter the location, whether employees are working on premises, at a branch, or remotely.

Superior user experience

Managed from a single console and leveraging a unified agent, natively available SD-WAN capabilities in FortiSASE offer a seamless user experience and empower organisations to consolidate security products and simplify policy management.

Simple licensing

FortiSASE offers a compelling total cost of ownership and simple licensing, Fortinet said. Additionally, many services are available at no extra cost, like Universal ZTNA, which enables robust secure access to and from the Internet, privately hosted applications, and SaaS applications.

AI-powered security

FortiSASE uses built-in FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services, including web filtering, domain name server (DNS) filtering, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) inspection, intrusion protection (IPS), sandboxing, and data loss prevention (DLP), to protect against new and emerging threats.

Fortinet was also recently named a Leader in the Forrester Wave: Zero Trust Edge Solutions, Q3 2023 report. Zero Trust edge is also known as SASE, and Fortinet believes this recognition validates its commitment to developing a single-vendor SASE solution on the market.

The news follows the mid-August launch of the FortiGate 90G, the first Secure SD-WAN appliance and next-generation firewall (NGFW) delivering AI-powered threat protection performance, scalability, and power efficiency at a cost-effective price, and the early-August announcement of the benefits of deploying security operations solutions from Fortinet. An independent analysis by the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) had found that Fortinet's customers improved detection, containment, investigation, and response as a result, while making security teams up to 86% more operationally efficient.
