FortiNet, and its included FortiClient front-end program, is an endpoint security platform that's designed to help users stay safe while they're connected to a network. It can control entire security suites and lock down phones, tablets and dedicated PCs from a single window so you can be sure that all of your connections as safe.

No matter what kind of device you're protecting, you're free to use the basic security window in order to do so. Users can locate vulnerability points across their entire network simply by browsing a single dashboard on their Windows-based PC> Best of all, it can automatically quarantine suspicious or compromised endpoints so you won't have to worry about something causing a major issue while you're not around to fix it.

Power users who want updated information and signatures regarding the latest threats can connect the app to FortiSandbox Cloud, which will enable them to spot problems before they occur. While it relies exclusively on a behavior-based analysis process to spot threats, this system is usually quite accurate.

Those who are serious about security are certainly going to love the wide variety of options that the app comes with to protect each endpoint that's wired into their existing network infrastructure.
