Key Features:
Single Pane Automation and Orchestration
FortiManager provides insight into network traffic and threats through a single-pane-of-glass and offers enterprise-class features and
sophisticated security management for unified, end-to-end protection to contain advanced threats. FortiManager also delivers the industry’s
best scalability to manage up to 100,000 Fortinet devices. FortiManager, coupled with the FortiAnalyzer family of centralized logging and
reporting appliances, provides a comprehensive and powerful centralized management solution for your organization.
Central Management of Network Infrastructure
Centrally manage FortiGate, FortiSwitch, FortiExtender & FortiAP.
The VPN manager simplifies the deployment and enables centrallyprovisioned VPN community and connection monitoring. FortiAP
Manager allows configuring, deploying and monitoring FortiAPs
from a single console.
Configuration and Settings Management
Collectively configure the device settings - using the provisioning
templates and advance CLI templates improves management of a
large number of devices. Automatic device configuration backup
with revision control and change audit make it easier for daily
administrative tasks. Use Management extensions to add SD-WAN
Orchestrator, Wireless Manager and other modules.
API for Automation and Orchestration
RESTful API allows MSSPs/large enterprises to create customized,
branded web portals for policy and object administration. Automate
common tasks such as provisioning FortiGates and configuring
existing devices. Join Fortinet Developer Network (FNDN) to
access exclusive articles, how-to content for automation and
customization, community-built tools, scripts and sample code.
Management Extensions
FortiManager’s management extensions allow rapid expansion of
Single Pane to manage more Security Fabric products. The built-in
engine runs containerized extensions to support trusted containers,
which are pulled from the FortiGuard. FortiManager is notified when
new containers are made available and users can easily choose to
opt in our out of each of the management extensions. It includes
modules like SD-WAN Orchestrator, Wireless Manager and more.
Security Policy Management
Per Policy Lock has been added to 6.4, which allows admins to
control the policy change by implicitly lock a policy rule when he/
she does the change to the policy. Group commonly used security
policies in a policy block and insert as needed in different Policy
Packages. Global policy feature that allows companies such as:
Telecom, MSSP and SAAS providers to apply a header/footer
policy at the ADOM level to all policy packages or select packages.
SD-WAN Orchestration & Analytics
Powerful SD-WAN management capabilities using intuitive
workflow and simplified provisioning at scale. Enhanced SD-WAN
analytics to monitor application performance and bandwidth
utilization per WAN link. Leverage application centric SD-WAN
business policies to fine-tune traffic steering decisions based on
performance SLA targets for each WAN provider. Provide flexible
deployment options for SD-WAN orchestrator, an add-on to
FortiManager.
Multi-Tenancy & Role Based Administration
FortiManager equips admins with granular device and role based
administration for deploying zero-trust, multi-tenancy architecture
to large enterprises, with a hierarchical objects database to
facilitate re-use of common configurations and serve multiple
customers. ADOMs are used to manage independent security
environments, each with its own security policies and configuration
database, and the intuitive GUI makes it easy to view, create, clone
and manage ADOMs. The zero-touch deployment uses templates
to provision devices for quick mass deployment, and also supports
firmware version enforcement. Define global objects such as
Firewall Objects, Policies and Security Profiles to share across
multiple ADOMs. Granular permissions allow assigning ADOMs,
devices and policies to users based on role and responsibilities.
FortiManager’s new IPS admin is a restricted user role for
performing only IPS related object configuration and install.
Integration & Security Fabric
FortiManager integrates with ITSM to mitigate security events,
apply configuration changes and update policies, as well as
seamless integration with FortiAnalyzer for in-depth discovery,
analysis, prioritization and reporting of network security events. Use
fabric connectors to facilitate connections with third-party vendors
like vCenter, pxGrid, Clearpass, OCI, ESXi, AWS and others, to
share and exchange data. FortiManager’s workflow for audit and
compliance enables review, approval and auditing policy changes,
including automating processes for policy compliance, policy
lifecycle management, and enforced workflow to reduce risk.
Network & Security Operations Visibility
Automated data exchanges between security (SOC) workflows and
operational (NOC) workflows, creating a single, complete workflow
that not only saves time, but also provides the capacity to complete
additional incident response activities. FortiManager’s NOC-SOC
delivers advanced data visualization to help Analysts quickly
connect dots and identify threats, simplifying how organizations
deliver security and remediate breaches, data exfiltration, and
compromised hosts.
Monitor and Report for Deep Visibility
Access vital security and network statistics, as well as realtime monitoring and integrated reporting to provide visibility into
network and user activity. For more powerful analytics, combine
with a FortiAnalyzer appliance for additional data mining, statistical
analysis and graphical reporting capabilities.
