Endpoint telemetry for visibility
FortiClient shares endpoint telemetry with the Security Fabric to ensure unified endpoint awareness and deliver integrated endpoint and network security. Endpoint information shared includes device information, OS, security status, vulnerabilities, events, and user ID.
Dynamic access control for compliance enforcement
EMS creates virtual groups based on endpoint security posture. These virtual groups are then retrieved by FortiGate and used in firewall policy for dynamic access control. Dynamic groups help automate and simplify compliance for security policies.
Automation/host quarantine
Automates policy-based response when triggered by security events. For example, automatically quarantine a suspicious or compromised endpoint to contain incidents and prevent outbreaks.
Vulnerability scanning and patching
Ensures endpoint hygiene and hardens endpoints to reduce the attack surface. Identifies vulnerable endpoints and prioritizes unpatched OS and software vulnerabilities with flexible patching options including auto-patching.
Software inventory
Provides visibility of installed software. In addition to managing licenses, software inventory can improve security hygiene. When software installed is not required for business purposes, it unnecessarily introduces potential vulnerabilities, and thereby increases the likelihood of compromise.
Administrators can leverage inventory information to detect and remove unnecessary or outdated applications that are potentially vulnerable to reduce the attack surface.
Anti-malware
Anti-malware leverages FortiGuard Content Pattern Recognition Language (CPRL), machine learning, and AI to protect endpoint against malware. The pattern-based CPRL is highly effective in detecting and blocking polymorphic malware. It also blocks attack channels and malicious websites.
Anti-exploit
Protects against advanced threats exploiting zero-day and unpatched vulnerabilities. This signature-less and behavioral-based technology detects and blocks memory violation techniques. It shields web browsers, java/flash plug-ins, office applications, PDF readers, load library, and script interpreters from exploit-based attacks.
Web filtering
Powered by FortiGuard research, the web filtering function monitors all web browser activities to enforce web security and acceptable usage policy with 75+ categories. It works across all supported operating systems and works with Google SafeSearch. The endpoint web filtering profile can be synchronized from FortiGate for consistent policy enforcement. Admins can set black/white lists, on-/off-net policies, and import FortiGate web filtering policies for consistent enforcement.
FortiClient now supports a web filter plugin that improves detection and enforcement of web filter rules on HTTPS sites with encrypted traffic.
Application firewall
Provides the ability to monitor, allow, or block application traffic by categories. It uses the same categories as FortiGate, enabling consistent application traffic control. It leverages FortiGuard anti-botnet, IPS, and application control intelligence and can prevent the use of unwanted applications including proxy apps and HTTPS messaging apps.
Sandbox integration
FortiClient natively integrates with FortiSandbox. FortiClient automatically submits files to the connected FortiSandbox for real-time analysis. Sandbox analysis results are automatically synchronized with EMS. Administrators can see detailed information and behavior activities of submitted objects including graphic visualization of the full process tree.
FortiSandbox Cloud support
FortiClient now offers a license that includes a FortiSandbox Cloud subscription. Licensed endpoints running FortiClient 6.2.0 can now use the FortiSandbox Cloud service for deep inspection of zero-day threats.
Cloud-based threat detection
Protects against emerging threats with real-time threat intelligence powered by FortiGuard.
Schools continues to enhance their technologies in the curriculum and the adoption of personal devices such as Chromebook are increasingly commonplace. Schools are required to be in compliance with Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) and protect students from harmful content while browsing the Internet.
Consistent web filtering policy enforcement on- and off- campus
Powered by FortiGuard research, the web filtering function monitors all web browser activities to enforce web security and acceptable usage policy with 75+ categories and supports Google SafeSearch:
