Security, Performance, and Management

The FortiSwitch Secure Access family offers outstanding security, performance, and management. Secure, simple, and scalable, FortiSwitch is the right choice for security-conscious businesses of all sizes.

Tightly integrated into the Fortinet Security Fabric via FortiLink, FortiSwitch can be managed directly through the familiar FortiGate interface. This centralized management 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 deployments with applications ranging from desktop to data center aggregation, allowing businesses 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 enabled and managed through a single console. The FortiLink integration enables centralized policy management, including role-based access and control mechanisms, simplifying implementation and management.
