Fortinet, a global leader in broad, integrated and automated cybersecurity solutions,recently announced an expansion to its FortiCare and FortiGuard security services offerings, adding a new security service called FortiTrust.

FortiTrust security services offer user-based licensing across all networks, endpoints and clouds, which traditionally have been siloed. Initial service levels are being offered for zero trust network access (ZTNA) and identity verification, with more offerings forthcoming.

FortiTrust provides security services that follow the user across an organisation’s entire security platform, enabling organisations to easily manage and secure across all form factors. Other benefits of the new offering include:

nFlexible user-based licensing of security services, eliminating the need to track device counts or bandwidth consumption and making it easy to calculate total cost with built in volume discounts

nIntegrated single license for security services delivers desired use cases across the Fortinet Security Fabric

nEasy implementation of new security services allows users to transition across various form factors, enabling organisations with hybrid architectures to shift from on-premises to cloud-delivered security

nEasy options to upgrade and migrate between services

Commenting on this new product, Fortinet Regional Vice President – India and SAARC Rajesh Maurya said: “As the digital attack surface expands with billions of edges that need to be protected, organisations are struggling to support an array of point security solutions and disparate services. Solution and services sprawl has now grown too difficult and too expensive to manage when they are siloed across various form factors.

“According to Gartner, organisations are moving towards security solutions with integrated services offerings. Fortinet is redefining services by expanding its security services options – which currently include FortiCare and FortiGuard – with FortiTrust, enabling a unified offering with one licensing model for flexible consumption options across networks, endpoints and clouds.”
