FortiClient Managed Endpoint Security Services is a Fortinet-delivered managed service designed to streamline the deployment, configuration, and ongoing monitoring of FortiClient endpoints.

It is built for organizations that want enterprise-grade endpoint security and Zero Trust access, but do not have the internal resources to manage policy tuning, onboarding, and monitoring themselves.

This service works with FortiClient Cloud (cloud-hosted EMS) and integrates directly into the Fortinet Security Fabric.
