Forti Switch Secure Access switches deliver outstanding security, performance & manageability for threat conscious small to mid-sized businesses, distributed enterprises & branch offices. Tightly integrated into the Forti Gate Network Security Platform, the Forti Switch secure access switches can be managed directly from the familiar Forti Gate interface. This single pane of glass management provides complete visibility & control of all users & devices on the network, regardless of how they connect. When a device connects to a secure access switch Ethernet port, it is first identified, & then the user is authenticated. Once authenticated, access to the network is granted based on pre-defined security policy from the Forti Gate, ensuring secure network access across the enterprise, without impacting the user experience.
