Introduction

FortiToken Cloud (FTC hereafter) is an Identity and Access Management as a Service (IDaaS) cloud service offered by Fortinet. It enables multi-factor authentication (MFA) on clients such as FortiGate™ (FGT), FortiAuthenticator™ (FAC), and FortiSandbox™ products as described in the then-current product data sheets and release notes (the “Supported Products” and the “Service”). For a full list of supported platforms, please refer to the Admin Guide. FTC provides centralized token authentication in the cloud, simplifying FortiToken management and the provisioning of users with no additional hardware or software required.

Many large-scale, costly, and most damaging data breaches in recent memory have been attributed to weak, insecure, and/or compromised user passwords. In response, businesses of all sizes are moving beyond the traditional password only authentication in favor of MFA. Adding a second factor to the authentication process, whether with traditional hardware, or more recently through mobile device applications, has become the new norm. Unfortunately, implementing and managing MFA deployments has proven to be no easy task. It requires dedicated IT personnel with the technical know-how, and the process is complex, on-going, and time-consuming.

Seamlessly integrated with Fortinet's industry-leading, award-winning, hardened, and trusted network security management products and technologies, FTC offers a secure, effective way to manage MFA for your Fortinet appliances through an intuitive, easy-to-use web interface that can be accessed from anywhere over the Internet. The FTC service includes a FortiToken Mobile App with PUSH technology to provide smooth multi-factor end-user experience.

FTC is hosted on the FortiCloud™ service portal whose features, deliverables and terms of use are described in the then-current FortiCloud service description made available at https://support.fortinet.com/Information/DocumentList.aspx (the “FortiCloud Service Description”). The terms of the FortiCloud Service Description are incorporated herein by reference and, in the event of a conflict, this service description shall prevail over the FortiCloud Service Description.
