Description
What is FortiCloud?
The FortiCloud Management and Analysis subscription is a cloud-based SaaS. It offers a range of management and services across the Fortinet firewalls and access points. FortiCloud is Fortinet’s platform for delivering security and security management services. With your Fortinet hardware, FortiCloud provides customers with a simple way to connect, protect, and deliver their data and applications on-premise and in the Cloud.
It’s a Cloud portal that enables you to manage all your Fortinet products and services. All from one place. Additionally, it also provides access to FortiCare.
Basically, FortiCloud is a unified console for managing your Fortinet products.
FortiCloud offers simplified central management, hosted log retention with large default storage, and real time monitoring/alerting. It also gives you service security, and a bunch of other things.
In addition, FortiCloud offers zero touch deployment, configuration management, reporting and analytics, sandboxing for zero day threat protection and the indicators of compromise service which utilizes big data analytics to identify threats already present in client devices. As a cloud service, FortiCloud can grow with your requirements from a single AP or FortiGate all the way up to a full MSP management solution for thousands of devices across multiple customers.
Sandboxing
You can useFortiCloud for sandboxing files from a FortiGate. This allows suspicious files to be inspected without risking your whole network. It’s sort of like a quarantine. If the file behaves oddly, or contains virus, a new virus signature is created. Then, FortiCloud adds it to the antivirus signature database.
About the FortiGate Rugged 60F firewall
The FortiGate Rugged 60F firewall is part of Fortinet’s FortiGate Ruggedized line of security appliances. It is comprised of the FGR-30D, FGR-35D, FGR-60D, FGR-90D, FGR-60F, and the FGR-60F-3G4G. The 60D and 90D are, however, gradually going away. Of course, traditional firewalls are for the world of offices and corporations. Not these guys.
They deliver specialized threat protection for critical industrial and control networks in all sorts of settings. These are industrially-hardened, fanless, all-in-one appliances made of robust components. That’s to ensure reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.
In other words, they’re built like tanks.
Consolidated Security Architecture
The Fortinet operating system is just as tough as the firewalls themselves. FortiOS consolidated security offers better protection and lower cost of ownership than multiple point products. Coupled with FortiGuard Industrial Security Service, it ensures that critical networks receive real-time protection, all the time.
