First time setup

To set up your FortiCASB for the first time, you or your organization must have the following in place:

  • Valid FortiCASB license. Contact your primary Fortinet service provider to obtain a license if you do not already have one.
  • Administrator with a primary FortiCloud account to add your company, business units, and users in FortiCASB.

In accordance with European Union (EU) laws and regulations, all data that FortiCASB collects for EU companies must be located in the EU region. To accommodate for this, you can choose to host your CASB cloud service on the global or EU site.

To complete first time setup:
  1. Go to https://www.forticasb.com/.
  2. Click Login. You are redirected to the Fortinet single sign-on webpage.
  3. Log into FortiCASB with your admin account, or create a new admin account if you do not already have one.
  4. If applicable, in the FortiCASB account selection page, select an account.
  5. A popup prompts you to create a company. Enter a company name and description.
  6. Click Add Company to finish creating a company.

After a company is created, go to Add a business unit to create business unit(s).

If you have a popup blocker, it blocks the FortiCASB GUI.

Set an exception for the FortiCASB GUI, or open the GUI manually.
