Our unique approach, delivering Universal ZTNA as part of our operating system, makes it uniquely scalable and flexible for both cloud-delivered or on-prem deployments, covering users whether they are in the office or remote. Our solution provides for a network of enforcement points, orchestrated by FortiClient EMS, that creates a low-latency architecture where we can apply security inspections on top of the ZTNA controls.
For existing Fortinet customers, ZTNA is even easier to implement, as the ZTNA capabilities are not licensed but are incorporated into the operating system and available for use.

It has been an amazing experience with Fortinet's Universal ZTNA. We have been using this product for the last 2-3 years, and the journey has been good so far. We have not faced any outages, and user connectivity is seamless. Fortinet Universal ZTNA ensures consistent security for all users, whether they are on-premises or roaming, by pushing the same policy throughout the organization.
I've been using Fortinet Universal ZTNA, and it's great for network security. It protects both remote and local users, ensuring only authorized access. Easy integration with other Fortinet products makes management a breeze. Setup is straightforward, and the intuitive interface makes it user-friendly. I highly recommend it for a robust, zero-trust security solution.
The solution provides secure access to private applications, the Internet & web, and cloud services regardless of the user's location. It's a cloud-delivered solution and, hence, can support any number of growing user counts. We have an excellent overall experience.
On-going verification of users and devices is the best feature of Fortinet ZTNA; with this feature, once the user is connected, Fortinet ZTNA will keep on checking the user's posture during the session. Also, it has a variety of ZTNA tags (posture checks) which can be applied to the ZTNA profile, and based on that, end user posture is checked, for example, domain check, Anti-virus check, and many more.
Fortinet Universal ZTNA is giving us secure access to our applications; with this product, only our organization's trusted users can connect to our office network. Whenever any user connects, it checks the user & device posture. Once the Posture check is successful, it only allows connecting to the applications.
Fortinet Universal ZTNA is a reliable product; we are using this to check the posture of remote users. This has been working great in our environment for the last 3 years. Users and laptops that are compliant with the ZTNA tags are getting connected to our applications, which are placed in datacenter, and the rest are getting blocked if their ZTNA compliance does not meet our organization policy.
Fortinet Universal ZTNA platform helped us adopt zero trust strategically in our environment. We use FortiEMS along with FortiAuthenticator and FortiToken, which works very well as a platform approach by integrating with FortiGate to enable ZTNA functionality to enable secure access to our applications.
Outstanding experience working on the Fortinet ZTNA; with this ZTNA solution, we are very relaxed from a security point of view for Remote users because of this product, only trusted users can connect to our applications, which are hosted in our data center. User feedback is also very positive, and they never faced any slowness or disconnections on ZTNA.
My overall experience with Fortinet Universal ZTNA has been excellent; the solution provides robust security features, seamless integration with our existing infrastructure, and a user-friendly interface, ensuring comprehensive protection and efficient management. FortiClient ZTNA has been the perfect solution for our growing organization. The Centralized Management Dashboard allows us to easily monitor and control user access and keep our data safe and secure.

The tourism and travel industry runs on data. Businesses in the sector routinely collect substantial amounts of personal information on customers including financial details, passport numbers, addresses, the names and ages of family members, and more. As a result, travel companies are a tempting target for cybercriminals, and many have fallen victim to phishing, ransomware, and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks in recent years.
