TL;DR

FortiPAM integrates with FortiAuthenticator Cloud and FortiIdentity Cloud to provide unified privileged access management with MFA enforcement across internal and remote users
The solution supports authentication through multiple identity providers (Entra ID, Okta, Active Directory) via RADIUS or SAML, addressing the complexity of mergers and multi-IdP environments
Role-based dashboards differentiate contractor and employee access, with comprehensive session recording capturing actual commands executed on target systems
Auto-provisioning automatically creates privileges and access to secrets for authenticated users, with detailed reporting on user logins, secret access, and launcher usage

Unified Identity and Access Management Architecture

This technical demonstration showcases Fortinet's integrated IAM solution combining FortiPAM (Privileged Access Management), FortiAuthenticator Cloud, and FortiIdentity Cloud. The architecture supports both internal and remote users, with FortiAuthenticator providing primary authentication through RADIUS or SAML integration with third-party identity providers including Entra ID, Okta, Active Directory, and local authentication. FortiIdentity Cloud adds multi-factor authentication through mobile push notifications or email verification. The solution addresses the complexity of merging multiple identity providers during company acquisitions and mergers, offering a unified authentication environment applicable to MSSPs and enterprises of any size.

Role-Based Access and Session Management

FortiPAM delivers differentiated user experiences based on role classification. Contractors receive simplified dashboards with pre-configured access to specific targets, while employees access more robust dashboards with expanded capabilities. The platform supports multiple access methods including SSH via PuTTY, WinSCP, WebSSH, WebSFTP, Remote Desktop, and Web RDP launchers. A key security feature is comprehensive session recording that captures not only access events but the actual commands executed within target systems. The auto-provisioning capability automatically creates privileges and access to secrets for authenticated users, streamlining administrative overhead while maintaining security controls.

Key Quotes

1:21 "With the MFA solution, we can add an extra layer of security such that when a user logs into an application, a system, a service, he or she is fully protected reducing the success of phishing attacks as well as lowering the risk of compromised credentials."
1:41 "This is a key Fortinet solution to pay attention to because it applies to any vertical, whether you're an MSSP or an enterprise of any size, small, medium, or large."
1:55 "With the rising trend of company acquisition and mergers, the complexity of merging multiple identity providers, unifying authentication environments can quickly become a daunting challenge."
8:41 "It records the actual session and what commands and what are the actual users did within a target."
