Why choose Fortinet for your Network Security as a Service solution

Increase the security of your unified communications stack with a class-leading solution.

If there is one thing Ericom understands, it is to ensure we deliver on our commitment. Designing and deploying class-leading solutions that bolster your business’s technology capabilities is achieved by partnering with tier-one vendors. Our partnership with Fortinet has enhanced our capacity to deliver fast and scalable SD-WAN cloud solutions for security-sensitive and global enterprises with the FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall.

As pioneers of secure networking that can scale to any location, Fortinet continue to solidify their market-leading presence having recently been named a leader in The Forrester Wave – Enterprise Firewalls, Q4 2022 report.

“Fortinet excels at performance for value and offers a wide array of adjacent services. Long known for its bang-for-the-buck approach to network security, Fortinet has built a flexible and capable platform with its flagship product, the FortiGate Firewall.” – source Forrester report.

FortiGate is the heart of FortiOS Everywhere, providing deep visibility and security in a variety of form factors, including container firewalls, virtual firewalls, and appliances.

In recent years we have seen an increase in businesses reassessing their Wireless Area Networks in the face of new technology and workplace demands as they adopt more dynamic approaches to their office environments.

Traditional WAN architecture is limited to enterprise, branch, and data centres. Once an organisation adopts cloud-based applications in the form of SaaS and IaaS, its WAN architecture experiences an explosion of traffic accessing applications distributed across the globe. These changes have multiple implications for IT. Employee productivity may be compromised by SaaS application performance problems. WAN expenses can rise with an inefficient use of dedicated and backup circuits. IT fights a daily, complex battle of connecting multiple types of users with multiple types of devices to multiple cloud environments but by leveraging a Fortinet solution your business will be protected with SD-WAN architecture that delivers security without compromise to address the most critical security challenges, whether in networked, application, cloud, or mobile environments.

Times have changed. As businesses adopt the use of SaaS and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) applications in multiple clouds, IT is realising that the user application experience is poor. That is because WANs designed for a different era are not ready for the unprecedented explosion of WAN traffic that cloud adoption brings causing management complexity, application-performance unpredictability, and data vulnerability.

Further opening your enterprise to the internet and the cloud exposes major threat and compliance issues. It is extremely challenging to protect the critical assets of an enterprise when applications are accessed by a diverse workforce, including employees, partners, contractors, vendors, and guests. Enabling broadband on the WAN makes the security requirements more acute, creating challenges for IT in balancing user experience, security, and complexity.
