FortiCloud Management Portals

No two enterprises are identical, and neither are their networks or their security needs. FortiCloud provides multiple Management Portals to accommodate different customer needs.

For instance, although a Fortinet Security-Driven Network is built around a FortiGate, there may be any number of reasons to deploy Fortinet networking products without an on site FortiGate. A customer may want to migrate to a full Fortinet solution, but is unprepared to cycle everything at the same time; or a customer simply loves our FortiAPs but prefers to separate WLAN management from other management systems. So, FortiCloud includes options structured to directly manage FortiGates and, via the FortiGate, indirectly manage on-site FortiAPs, FortiSwitches, and FortiExtenders. However, FortiCloud also includes portals that provide direct cloud management of FortiAPs, FortiSwitches, and FortiExtenders.

Available FortiGate Cloud Management portals include:

  • FortiGate Cloud

  • FortiManager Cloud

Available Fortinet Networking Cloud Management portals include:

  • FortiLAN Cloud for FortiAPs and FortiSwitches

  • FortiExtender Cloud

Additional Cloud Management portals include:

  • FortiAnalyzer Cloud

  • FortiClient EMS Cloud

  • FortiSOAR Cloud
