FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS | Single Pane Management

FortiManager's Single Pane Management provides centralized management and provisioning strategy built around Fortinet's Security Fabric that tightly integrates an organization's network infrastructure and security architecture to apply access control, segmentation and consistent protection of devices, applications and users.

Device Configuration and Provisioning

FortiManager expands the network administrator's capabilities with a rich set of tools to centrally manage up to 100,000 devices including FortiGates, FortiExtender, FortiSwitch, FortiAPs, SD-WAN and more

Collectively configure device settings and use new enhanced CLI templates with variables, and provisioning templates to assign firmware and policy packages from a single console, including policy and object revision history for auditing.

FortiManager includes extended SSL and Certificate support for enhanced ssl-ssh-profile configuration, as well as Restricted IPS Admin Profiles to support customers who are transitioning and upgrading from dedicated IPS solutions to Fortinet products

Automated device configuration backups and revision control make daily administrative tasks easy, with change tracking in the enhanced Event Log view for review of configuration and change detail for auditing & compliance.

FortiManager also now enables Admins to configure and assign custom commands on FortiSwitch and configure MCLAG from the FortiSwitch Manager.

Multi-Tenancy and Role-Based Administration

FortiManager provides granular device and role-based administration for clear visibility of every device and user on the network, facilitating zero-trust, multi-tenancy deployments for large enterprises and a hierarchical objects database for re-use of common configurations to serve multiple customers.

ADOMs (administrative domains) are used to manage independent security environments, each with its own security policies and configuration database. The intuitive GUI makes it easy for Admins to view, create, clone, and manage ADOMs, define global Objects, Policies and Security Profiles across ADOMs, with Health Check to ensure ADOMs are in sync.

FortiManager's zero-touch deployment utilizes templates to provision devices for quick mass deployments, and supports firmware version enforcement for defining firmware requirements for installs and upgrades.
