What is FortiClient?

FortiClient is a versatile Fabric Agent offered by Fortinet, providing comprehensive protection, compliance, and secure access in a lightweight client. It communicates with the Fortinet Security Fabric to deliver visibility, control, and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) for endpoints, such as laptops and mobile devices.

The Unified FortiClient agent includes features like AI-based next-gen antivirus, endpoint quarantine, URL filtering, cloud access security broker (CASB), and support for cloud sandbox and USB device control. It enables secure remote access with encrypted VPN and ZTNA tunnels while integrating with FortiSASE for cloud-hosted ZTNA.

FortiClient is available in different editions, catering to various use cases, and offers additional services like managed endpoint security and Forensics Analysis. It helps identify and remediate malicious attacks across multiple vectors, including web, USB, and email. The software inventory management module allows monitoring of all software installed on an endpoint and removing outdated and unwanted applications.

With on-demand, real-time, or scheduled scans, FortiClient detects and quarantines malware and compromised endpoints. It ensures a secure user experience through SSL-based encryption and two-factor authentication. The system integrates with third-party applications via its API and provides endpoint alerts and summary reports for continuous monitoring across the organization.

FortiClient is ideal for small to medium businesses seeking effective endpoint protection and management.
