FortiClient
FortiClient is a required component for ZTNA. It gathers information about the endpoint and in some cases is used as an enforcement tool.
For licensing information, review the FortiClient data sheet found in FortiClient Endpoint Security Overview.
FortiClient endpoints provide the following information to FortiClient EMS when the endpoints register to FortiClient EMS:
-
Device information (network details, operating system, model, and others)
-
Logged on user information
-
Security posture (On-net/Off-net, antivirus software, vulnerability status, and others)
FortiClient also requests and obtains a client device certificate from the EMS ZTNA Certificate Authority (CA) when it registers to FortiClient EMS. FortiClient uses the certificate to identify itself to the FortiGate.
