Security, Performance, and Manageability

The FortiSwitch Secure Access family offers outstanding security, performance, and manageability. Secure, simple, and scalable, FortiSwitch is the right choice for security-conscious organizations of any size.

Tightly integrated into the Fortinet Security Fabric via FortiLink, FortiSwitch can be managed directly through the familiar FortiGate interface. This management through a single user interface provides complete visibility and control over users and devices on the network, regardless of how they connect. This makes FortiSwitch ideal for SD-Branch and campus implementations with applications ranging from desktop to data center aggregation, allowing organizations to unify their security and network access.

Integration of the Security Fabric via FortiLink

FortiLink is an innovative proprietary management protocol that enables our FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall to seamlessly manage any FortiSwitch. FortiLink allows the FortiSwitch to become a logical extension of the FortiGate, integrating it directly into the Fortinet Security Fabric. This management option reduces complexity and lowers management costs, as network security and access layer functions can be activated and managed through a single console. The FortiLink integration enables centralized policy management, including role-based access and control mechanisms, simplifying implementation and management.
