Tech Bytes: Fortinet Firewall Integrates SD-WAN, ZTNA, LAN Controller (Sponsored)

The Tech Bytes podcast welcomes Fortinet to  to discuss the universal nature of Fortinet hardware and software. One thing we haven’t covered enough is that the same FortiGate NGFW appliance includes networking capabilities as part of its FortiOS operating system. That is, aside from performance and capacity considerations, each FortiGate appliance can be a NGFW, router, SD-WAN, wireless controller and ZTNA platform. Joining me to discuss how Fortinet makes this happen is Peter Newton, Senior Director of Products. We discuss: * How the FortiGate firewall supports additional networking features * Getting routing and SD-WAN in the same appliance * Simple licensing with FortiOS * How Fortinet leverages its custom ASICs * More Show Links: Fortinet.com FortiOS 7.2 (PDF) – Fortinet The World’s #1 Network Firewall Also Delivers Powerful Networking Solutions – Fortinet Tech Bytes: How Fortinet’s FortiGuard Labs Turns Billions Of Security Events Into Intelligence (Sponsored) – Packet Pushers
