And a lot of our customers started the journey with really a free version of 4D Client, which gives you a VPN access. But very quickly, they moved to this next step where they have an endpoint management, which again, you can use a cloud-based, which we provide, or an on-prem, always flexible. But you can now get the endpoint telemetry and visibility. And over the last four years, as I mentioned, there's a huge focus for a lot of our customers when they're using VPN or for visibility to move to this universal ZTNA. What is universal ZTNA? Well, it is a zero-trust enforcement wherever you want to do it. 4DOS, which is available as an on-prem, as part of our SASE, as part of our cloud, 4D Client works inherently as part of our EMS and 4DOS to allow you to do enforcement with the right tags so that customers are always having an explicit access with the right device posture. And that is such a big differentiator that 4DNet's offering provides while giving you a real-time, continuous posture validation.

TL;DR

  • FortiClient has achieved over 20 million endpoint deployments, with many customers starting from the free VPN tier before expanding capabilities.
  • Universal ZTNA enables zero-trust enforcement across on-premises, SASE, and cloud deployments with consistent policy application.
  • FortiClient integrates with EMS and FortiOS to provide tag-based access control tied to real-time device posture validation.

Summary

This segment from Fortinet's Unified SASE Summit highlights the evolution of FortiClient deployments and the company's universal ZTNA capabilities. With over 20 million endpoints currently deployed, the presentation traces a typical customer journey from free VPN access through endpoint management to full zero-trust network access enforcement. The speaker emphasizes deployment flexibility, noting that endpoint management can be delivered via cloud or on-premises infrastructure. A key focus is FortiClient's integration with FortiOS and the Endpoint Management Server (EMS) to enable tag-based enforcement and continuous device posture validation. The universal ZTNA approach allows zero-trust enforcement across on-premises, SASE, and cloud environments, positioning this flexibility and real-time posture checking as core differentiators in Fortinet's security portfolio.

FAQ

What is universal ZTNA and how does it differ from traditional VPN?

Universal ZTNA is zero-trust enforcement that works consistently across on-premises, SASE, and cloud environments. Unlike traditional VPN which grants broad network access after authentication, universal ZTNA provides explicit access based on device posture tags and continuous validation, ensuring users only access resources appropriate to their current security state.
