FortiGuard Analysis and Management Service

Description

Hosted Centralized Analysis and Management Solution for FortiGate Systems

Centralized security reporting, logging and configuration management are critical components of an enterprise's security best practices. To enable smaller organizations to benefit from a centralized management solution, which is typically priced out of the reach of smaller organizations, Fortinet offers the FortiGuard Analysis and Management Service. By delivering the solution via a hosted service model, businesses of all sizes using FortiGate platfoms can benefit from a robust, fault tolerant security reporting, log analysis and centralized management solution. There are no additional requirements for hardware, software or facilities - providing a low cost of entry for smaller organizations and highly distributed environments.

Meeting Regulatory Requirements	Many regulations require specific levels of security log retention, reporting capabilities and restricted access to information
Expand Security Capabilities while Staying within Budget	Purchasing hardware, software and data centre space can prevent investing in centralized management due to high up-front costs
Audit Changes to Security Devices	Maintaining and documenting configuration changes can be challenging to perform manually
Monitor Incidents and Thresholds	The root cause of network slowdowns, track bandwidth utilization and measure uptime can be difficult without a centralized management system
