Hosted Central Management Solutions for FortiGate Systems
Overview:
The FortiGuard Analysis and Management Service is a subscription based hosted service for FortiGate®, FortiWiFi™, and FortiMail™ appliances, as well as FortiClient™ agents. With this service, organizations can enjoy many of the centralized management, logging, and reporting capabilities found in FortiAnalyzer and FortiManager platforms, without any additional hardware to buy, install or maintain. The FortiGuard Analysis and Management Service is the ideal security management solution for smaller organizations, that have the same security needs as larger companies but limited IT resources.
FortiGuard® Analysis & Management Service Benefits:
