Overview

Today’s business identity environments are made up of various systems of record ranging from networking devices, servers, directory services, and cloud applications. Managing an identity that resides in these various systems can quickly grow into such a large administrative challenge that it negatively affects users, administrators, and application developers.

Additionally, many of today’s most damaging security breaches have been due to compromised user accounts and passwords exacerbated by groups of users being provided with inappropriate levels of access. Securely and effectively managing identity authentication and authorization policies for all systems and applications is crucial to protect against security breaches.

★★★★★
“Multifactor Authentication For FortiGate Devices”

Head Of Engineering - Security System
Industry: Construction
Role: Infrastructure and Operations

"We are using Forti Authenticator for secure access of FortiGate devices. this is very good tool for the secure access. performance is also very good and it works stand alone and can be integrated with active directory. We can have control over user access and we can get the report through event and logs. it can work with all FortiGate enterprise firewall and support all Android and IOS platform."

★★★★
“Good Solution For MFA And/Or SSO When In A Fortinet Environment”

Network And Security Manager
Industry: Communications
Role: Infrastructure and Operations
Firm Size: 50M - 250M USD

“We achieve to configure it easily with other Fortinet solution. The integration with "SAML compatible" on premise or cloud solutions is pretty easy. The main problem is when you want to integrate it with existing non radius or saml solutions.”

★★★★
“All In One Authenticator For Forti Products”

Network And Security Engineer
Industry:Services
Role: Security and Risk Management
Firm Size: 250M - 500M USD.

“The overall experience is very satisfying. It comes with both VM and appliance but we purchase appliance. There app size is small, it supports both IOS and Android. Also we are using authenticator for almost all fortigate firewall logins and on forticlient as well which help us to enhance security. It also integrates with AD and also have different mode of authentication.”

FortiAuthenticator Ecosystem

FortiAuthenticator provides integration with many leading IT vendors as part of the Fortinet Security Fabric. Below is a list of current FortiAutheticator Alliance Partners:

Enhance security and productivity while minimizing the burden on IT

The increase in cloud-based applications and connected devices have changed the way we work. This has also expanded the attack surface, giving cybercriminals more opportunities for targeted attacks. To avoid breaches, organizations need to ensure the right users are accessing the right network resources using cloud identity and access management (cloud IAM).

Fortinet User Authentication provides you with the tools and capabilities for effective authentication, access, and identity management of users, devices, and guests or partners. You can federate identity to provide a great experience for your users through Fortinet's IAM solution. 

Flexible deployment options let you decide the best way to deploy the IAM solution, depending on your needs. Choose on-premises ready-to-use hardware, a virtual machine, managed cloud, or identity-as-a-service (IDaaS). Quickly integrate Fortinet IAM Products with existing authentication infrastructure such as active directory (AD) or LDAP, or with new services through cloud service providers. 

 

Get Better Security with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Get Better Security Access with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Providing secure access to applications, services, or software development hosted on-premises or in the cloud, while offering ease of use for end users, is a constant challenge.

You can make it much tougher for hackers to gain access to protected information through the use of additional credentials such as a one-time passcode (OTP). OTP is one component of MFA. MFA is a crucial security feature of any IAM solution because it requires verification of multiple credentials:

  • Something the user knows: a username and password.
  • Something the user has: an OTP in the form of a token or code. This is sent to the user via email or SMS, to a hardware token generator, or to an authenticator application installed on the user’s smartphone.
  • Something specific to the user: biometric information such as the user’s finger print.

Therefore, even if a cybercriminal has a username and password, they cannot access the system without the other information.

Fortinet MFA, which is a crucial security feature of any IAM solution, provides easy-to-use secure access to corporate VPNs, Wi-Fi, on-premises, or cloud-based apps. Users can quickly log on by responding to a push notification on their smart device during the authentication process.

Increase security and easier access with IAM Single Sign-On (SSO)

Increase Security While Providing Easier Access for Users with Single Sign-on (SSO)

Centrally managing user identities and their access to organizational resources is the most effective identity and access management (IAM) security practice. With the IAM centralized solution, IT admins can enforce password complexity requirements and multi-factor authentication. Plus, Fortinet IAM delivers a better user experience when accessing services and applications in the cloud or on-premises.

Single sign-on (SSO) technology is a key component of the IAM Product that enables users to securely authenticate with multiple applications and websites by logging in only once. However, not all SSO solutions are built equally. Some providers offer an SSO solution for web-based applications, while others leverage public cloud infrastructure. Still, other SSO solutions are designed for on-premises services including applications, file storage, servers, and networks. Solely adopting a web-based application SSO solution is inefficient for effective identity security because cloud infrastructure and on-premises services will have different SSO requirements. As a result, managing (and federating) identities will largely remain decentralized and would require integration efforts across different SSO solutions to provide true SSO capability.

Fortinet FortiAuthenticator provides a comprehensive approach to SSO with centralized identity management. It authenticates users with traditional on-premises as well as modern web and cloud authentication protocols. Organizations gain full control. You can securely connect your users to appropriate resources in the cloud or on premises while improving their experience.
