Fortinet FortiManager 400B Appliance

Overview:

The FortiManager family of appliances supply the tools needed to effectively manage any size Fortinet security infrastructure, from a few devices to thousands of appliances and end-point security agents. The appliances provide centralized policy-based provisioning, configuration, and update management for FortiGate, FortiWiFi, and FortiMail appliances, as well as FortiClient end point security agents. They also offer end-to-end network monitoring for added control. FortiManager delivers a lower TCO for Fortinet implementations by minimizing both initial deployment costs and ongoing operating expenses. Managers can control administrative access and simplify policy deployment using role-based administration to define user privileges for specific management domains and functions by aggregating collections of Fortinet appliances and agents into independent management domains. By locally hosting security content updates for managed devices and agents, FortiManager appliances minimize Web filtering rating request response time and maximize network protection.

FortiManager Benefits:

• Support for up to 4,000 appliances or virtual domains (VDOMs) and 100,000 FortiClient agents from a single appliance for efficient command and control of the largest deployments.
• Minimizes initial deployment and ongoing operating expenses of Fortinet security infrastructures.
• Faster provisioning of new devices and agents and management of security policies across groups of assets reduces management burden and operational costs.
• Detailed revision tracking increases visibility and auditing capabilities.
• Easily manage complex mesh and star VPN environments.
• Role as local distribution point for managed assets improves control over security and software updates.
• Seamless integration with FortiAnalyzer appliances delivers in-depth discovery, analysis, prioritization and reporting of network security events.

Managing Network Security

Networks are under constant attack from threats that aim to infect systems, steal confidential information, relay spam, cause denial of service conditions and more. Managing a security infrastructure to combat these threats is increasingly challenging as networks grow in size and complexity. Network and security administrators have traditionally deployed and maintained multiple security products to protect their networks, but are increasingly realizing the operational benefits of the Fortinet family of multi-threat security systems. FortiGate™ appliances and FortiClient™ end-point security systems allow administrators to consolidate their and simplify their security infrastructure. Yet managing multiple Fortinet products without a centralized management solution can still limit network-wide visibility and result in unnecessary management overhead.

Centralized Security Management

FortiManager centralized management appliances deliver the essential tools necessary to effectively manage the smallest to the largest Fortinetbased security infrastructures. Whether deploying a few or thousands of new devices or agents, distributing updates or installing security policies across managed assets, FortiManager appliances simplify tasks commonly associated with managing FortiGate devices and FortiClient agents. Device discovery, group management, auditing facilities and the ability to manage complex mesh and star VPN environments are just of a few of the time-saving features that FortiManager appliances offer. Complemented by the FortiAnalyzer™ centralized logging and reporting appliance, the FortiManager appliance is a comprehensive and powerful centralized management solution.

Key Features: Benefits: Appliance-Based Centralized Management Simplifies the deployment and maintenance associated with deploying multiple security while eliminating third-party operating systems and hardware requirements. Automated Device Provisioning / Centralized Policy Configuration Reduces the time to deploy new FortiGate or FortiClient installations and maintain policies across all managed assets Local Caching of FortiGuard™ Services Reduces time to distribute FortiGuard Antivirus and IPS service updates, improves response time for FortiGuard Web Filtering and Antispam rating requests. Role-Based Administration Enables distributed administration, an important requirement for service providers managing multiple customer deployments or large enterprises with multiple administrator types. Policy/Device Auditing Provides reliable archiving of content data, such as email content, IM chat and file transfers, as well as a centralized quarantine repository for infected files.

Integrated Management Solutions FortiManager appliances provide a secure web-based management interface for the command and control of managed assets. Seamless integration with FortiAnalyzer appliances complete the centralized management solution with in-depth discovery, analysis, prioritization and reporting of network security events. Both interfaces work together to provide real-time, actionable information empowering the administrator with the knowledge and power to enforce the security policy across the enterprise and keep assets protected.

FortiManager OS Features:

Device Manager

The Device Manager module enables complete remote configuration and maintenance of a single device or a group of devices with equal effort. Administrators can find device health information, license status and FortiGuard service usage statistics by device or group. Finally, revision tracking, scripting facilities, policy templates and firmware management are all functions of the Device Manager module.

VPN Manager

Real-Time The VPN Module allows simplified VPN deployment, management, and monitoring of FortiGate units, external VPN peers and clients. For added efficiency, traffic profiles, IPSec authentication parameters, IPSec tunnel parameters and custom services can be stored as reusable configuration objects.

Real-Time Monitor

The Real-Time Monitor (RTM) module allows administrators to actively monitor the status of large numbers of FortiGate devices at a glance. Included with the RTM module is the ability to apply filter profiles and thresholds individually or to groups of FortiGate devices. Also included are powerful features such as custom alerting and alarming settings with options for email alerts and SNMP message generation.

FortiClient Manager

Efficiently manage FortiClient agents with tools designed to relieve the burden of inventory, status and policy management. FortiManager allows administrators to enforce the security policy on all managed assets whether inside or outside the private network.

Fortianalyzer Integration

FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer user interfaces are integrated to provide seamless transitions from device and client management to log analysis and reporting functions.
