Use Cases and Deployment Scope

FortiOS is an ecosystem used primarily (in our environment) with FortiGate Firewalls to protect and narrow our threat surface. FortiOS provides a common user interface regardless of device makeup and unifies features such as automation and orchestration, network, and security policy under a single, common user interface. Through its API, FortiOS provides a common management framework and a common security framework for all your FortiNet solutions and 3rd Party devices.

  • Orchestration
  • Common security fabric
  • Easy to use API

Cons

  • Upgrades are difficult to stage

Likelihood to Recommend

FortiOS is a great platform for deploying multiple FortiNet products and solutions in your environment that are operated under a single management console such as FortiManager. Automation and Orchestration become a reality with its simple API and FortiOS's ability to work with 3rd party API capabilities. FortiOS makes it simple to operate Fortinet's next-generation firewall features such as intrusion detection, SD-WAN, and Identity then consolidates them under a common management interface.
