The Hybrid Workforce Demands Convergence and Security at Every Edge
Cloud-delivered, scalable threat protection with low latency
Contact UsDigital transformation continues to explode, and 93% of enterprises already have a multi-cloud strategy in place. This has nurtured a massive change in the way that the average enterprise network is organized and where the network edge exists. In order to stay secure and agile at the same time, organizations need consistent and converged networking and Security-as-a-Service to support an expanding multi-branch network architecture. With secure access service edge (SASE), security and infrastructure leaders can secure endpoints located in smaller branch offices in the same way off-network remote users are secured when accessing the cloud. This drives leaner, more elastic operations for hybrid organizations at no compromise to security posture.
SASE offers the ability to:
- Transition from CapEx to OpEx
- Drive better policy enforcement for hybrid network environments
- Reduce tool sprawl and improve operations
- Lower risk exposure
The Challenge
When it comes to protecting a hybrid enterprise environment, securing off-net remote users and branch office networks with separate security solutions results in tool sprawl, elevated operational costs, and inconsistent security policies. SASE providers that are unable to provide overarching security for both off-net remote and branch office users do not solve the convergence challenge that most modern organizations face. Security and infrastructure leaders require one SASE vendor that can offer uniform security and a seamless user experience for both off-network users and WAN edge infrastructure locations alike.
The Solution
In addition to remote users, organizations can choose to deploy SASE to thin edge on-net users by simply deploying a FortiExtender LAN, LTE, or 5G appliance at the branches of their choice. This scalable and easy-to-deploy model delivers best-in-class enterprise security and superior user experience. FortiSASE can be used at the office just as it would be used at the cloud edge. This service is called Fortinet FortiSASE Thin Edge.

We use the Fortinet SASE solution to deliver cloud-native security and scalable VPN access to our remote users and distributed branch offices. Fortinet is critical to our ability to get the job done; without it, we would require a staff of four to five more people as well as capital investment in additional products.
