The company further fortifies digital defenses with FortiWeb (web application firewalls), FortiMail (secure email gateways), and FortiSandbox technology, which offers proactive threat detection and mitigation. Endpoint protection is a key focus, delivered through FortiClient (featuring pattern-based anti-malware, behavior-based exploit protection, web-filtering, and an application firewall) and the advanced FortiEDR/XDR suite, which leverages machine learning for anti-malware execution and real-time post-infection defense. Additionally, FortiToken and FortiAuthenticator product families provide essential multi-factor authentication to safeguard systems and data. Fortinet's service offerings include security subscriptions, technical support, professional consulting, and training programs. Its robust security technologies are distributed both directly to end-users and through an extensive network of channel partners. The company serves a wide array of sectors, including telecommunications, technology, government, financial services, education, retail, manufacturing, and healthcare.
