Security, Performance, and Management

The FortiSwitch Secure Access family offers outstanding security, performance, and management. Secure, simple, and scalable, FortiSwitch is the right choice for threat-conscious businesses of any size.

Tightly integrated into the Fortinet Security Fabric via FortiLink, FortiSwitch can be managed directly through the familiar FortiGate interface. This centralized management provides complete visibility and control over users and devices in the network, regardless of how they connect. As a result, FortiSwitch is ideal for SD-Branch and campus implementations with applications ranging from desktop to data center aggregation, enabling businesses to unify their security and network access.

Integration of the Security Fabric via FortiLink

FortiLink is an innovative proprietary management protocol that allows our FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall to seamlessly manage any FortiSwitch. FortiLink enables the FortiSwitch to become a logical extension of the FortiGate and integrates it directly into the Fortinet Security Fabric. This management option reduces complexity and lowers management costs, as network security and access functions can be activated and managed through a single console. The FortiLink integration allows for centralized policy management, including role-based access and control mechanisms, simplifying implementation and management.
