Why Fortinet

Fortinet offers a broad portfolio of integrated and automated security tools covering network security, cloud security, application security, access security, network operations center (NOC), and security operations center (SOC) functions.

The Fortinet Secure SD-WAN solution accelerates network and security convergence with enterprise-grade SD-WAN, advanced routing, Next-Generation Firewall, and recently added access proxy for Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) support. This simplifies the LAN and WAN architecture to provide a unified Fortinet WAN edge—powered by a single OS and controlled with a single management solution. Not only are we providing the best-in-class SD-WAN solution, but the technology is also integrated with network access to deliver the most secure and manageable remote branch in the industry.

Secure SD-Branch follows the Fortinet security-driven networking philosophy, powered by FortiLink, which integrates wired and wireless services into the security infrastructure through FortiOS. Fortinet SD-Branch enables customers to converge their security, WAN, and LAN, extending the benefits of the Fortinet Security Fabric to their distributed branches.

Fortinet is among the earliest SD-WAN technology vendors to be certified by the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF), the world’s defining authority for standardized services designed to address the most demanding networking needs of today’s digital transformation efforts.

Fortinet has been an active member of MEF since 2017, and is closely partnering with MEF to develop new SD-WAN security standards. Fortinet currently leads a key initiative in the MEF Applications Committee on application security for SD-WAN services (MEF 88), and has won two MEF 3.0 Proof of Concept awards for developing security standards for secure connections between separate SD-WAN devices, and for ensuring application security for SD-WAN services.

This certification demonstrates the ability of Fortinet Secure SD-WAN to comply with the highest industry standards required by service providers to deliver SD-WAN services. The Fortinet MEF SD-WAN product certification Test Report is available to learn more about test environments and testing methodology.
