Partner POV | Inside Fortinet's Unified SASE Architecture

In today's hybrid‑work world, IT teams are under pressure to deliver consistent, secure, high‑performance access everywhere—without multiplying tools, consoles, or complexity. Fortinet Unified SASE brings security and networking together into one integrated, AI‑driven platform built to protect users, devices, applications and data across every edge.

Unlike fragmented multi‑vendor environments, Fortinet's approach simplifies operations with a single operating system, single agent and unified management. This convergence is powered by more than 15 years of AI‑driven threat protection leadership, and backed by a globally distributed cloud network spanning 140–150+ points of presence for low‑latency access worldwide.

Independent analysts continue to validate this momentum. Fortinet is one of the top two most‑deployed SASE vendors globally*, highlighting the accelerated adoption of its SASE solution and the increasing demand for unified networking and security capabilities from customers. Gartner has predicted that 65% of enterprises are shifting toward single‑vendor SASE architectures as they consolidate tools to strengthen security posture, lower operational overhead and reduce cost.

With fully integrated Secure SD‑WAN, SSE, Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), CASB, FWaaS, SWG, DLP, and Digital Experience Monitoring, Fortinet Unified SASE ensures:

• Consistent security everywhere — on‑prem, in the cloud or remote
• Identity‑ and context‑based access control without VPN friction
• High‑performance encrypted traffic inspection without compromising user experience
• Scalable, cloud‑delivered protection designed for rapidly evolving edge environments

For IT leaders seeking a unified, operationally efficient and future‑ready SASE platform, Fortinet's single‑vendor architecture delivers measurable performance, simplified management and stronger security outcomes—at global scale.
