Summary
This demonstration walks through the complete provisioning workflow for FortiGate-as-a-Service, Fortinet's cloud-delivered next-generation firewall offering that enables organizations to deploy enterprise-grade security without upfront hardware investment. The demo covers the entire ordering process through the FortiCloud portal, including selecting firewall models ranging from the 91G to the 3501F, choosing between UTP and enterprise security bundles, and configuring deployment options such as single unit or high-availability pairs. Viewers learn how FortiPoints serve as the consumption currency for the service, with provisioning completing in minutes rather than the weeks typically required for traditional hardware deployments. The walkthrough also demonstrates post-deployment management tasks including initial password configuration, HA verification, and license monitoring. FortiGate-as-a-Service positions itself as particularly valuable for MSSPs and enterprises seeking to shift from capital expenditure to operational expense models while maintaining access to Fortinet's ASIC-powered firewall technology and FortiGuard security services for use cases spanning SD-WAN, SSE, and wireless controller deployments.
