Description
FortiExtender SASE Series — Secure Connectivity for the Thin Edge
FortiExtender SASE Series devices extend enterprise-grade security and connectivity to micro-branches, home offices, and temporary sites. Designed to integrate seamlessly with FortiSASE or remote FortiGate deployments, these devices bring consistent policy enforcement and protected access to even the smallest locations.
Built on Fortinet—½s converged networking and security approach, the FortiExtender SASE Series acts as an extension of the Fortinet Security Fabric, ensuring that users at the edge receive the same level of protection as headquarters and data centre environments.
Centralised Control and Unified Management
All devices are managed through a single pane of glass via FortiSASE or FortiGate. This enables:
-
Consistent policy enforcement across all sites
-
Streamlined configuration and monitoring
-
Simplified deployment and lifecycle management
-
Visibility into branch connectivity and performance
This centralised approach reduces operational overhead while maintaining security standards across distributed environments.
Zero-Touch Deployment
FortiExtender SASE devices support zero-touch provisioning, allowing rapid rollout without requiring on-site technical expertise. Devices can be shipped directly to location, powered on, and automatically configured through the central management platform.
This makes them ideal for:
-
Micro-branches with no local IT staff
-
Remote workers with multi-device home setups
-
Short-term or pop-up deployments
Secure Split-Tunnel Connectivity
Split-tunnel capabilities allow secure access to corporate applications while enabling direct internet access for non-corporate traffic. This ensures:
-
Optimised performance for business applications
-
Reduced backhaul congestion
-
Strong security for enterprise resources
Encrypted IPsec tunnels deliver up to 900 Mbps of secure throughput, ensuring reliable performance for business-critical applications.
