FortiClient EMS

FortiClient EMS is as a critical part of the ZTNA solution as it manages remote endpoints, issues client certificates, collects security, identity and environment inputs from them and synchronizes these inputs to the FortiGate application gateway for evaluation. In the Zero Trust application gateway for SaaS applications use case, FortiClient EMS can be launched from FortiCloud, on-premise in the headquarters, or even in the cloud along with the SaaS applications. The only requirement is for it to be publically accessible by remote clients and have connectivity with the FortiGate via the EMS connector.
