It runs on PCs, laptops, and smartphones. FortiClientįortiClient is Fortinet’s end point agent. Let’s look at each element in more detail. If the user needs to access the application later, the process starts over.When the session is complete, the connection is torn down.The proxy brokers both sides of the connection for the duration of the session.If the user and device checks are good, the proxy sets up a TLS connection to the application, whether that application is on premises or in the cloud.
The proxy checks the access request against the user’s current role, ID, and policies such as location and device posture. The client software initiates a TLS connection to a proxy. When an end user opens an application, the access process goes through 6 general steps: This ensures that any changes in privilege is enforced immediately.įortinet ZTNA controls access through a combination of client software, FortiGate firewalls that serve as access proxies, and identity management services such as a role-based directory like Active Directory or others. Trust is confirmed on each access, not just at the first time a user connects to the network. Access policies can also be informed by device type, location, time of day, and device posture. It can control access to applications hosted on premises, in the public cloud, or delivered via SaaS.įortinet ZTNA operates from a stance of least-privilege, which limits a user only to applications and services allowed by their role. We thank Fortinet for being a sponsor.įortinet’s Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) lets network and security teams enforce fine-grained access policies for users working remotely and in the office.
