Secure Wireless LAN


Secure your wireless LAN Edge with Security-driven Wi-Fi

The most common form of access at the LAN Edge for users these days is Wi-Fi. Wireless Access Points can be added to any network to provide Wi-Fi access to employees and guests alike. The challenges of adding wireless to a deployment go far beyond the physical installation of the hardware.

Network IT demands more capability and reliable security from fewer components to save on cost and simplify the environment. Fortinet’s Wireless LAN equipment leverages Security-driven Networking to provide secure wireless access for the enterprise LAN edge.

Perfect for deployments from the campus to the SD-Branch, FortiAPs are Fortinet Security Fabric enabled, providing the broad visibility, automated protection, and integrated threat intelligence required to protect the valuable assets and data of organizations worldwide.

Secure Wireless LAN Use Cases

Securing the wireless at new branches can be expensive, difficult, and time consuming to deploy. The same simplicity, manageability, and security offered in our Secure SD-WAN solution leveraging the FortiGate NGFW can be carried over into wired and wireless access management to create a Secure SD-Branch. FortiAPs, integrate directly into the FortiOS security infrastructure via our FortiLink protocol. 

Local-area networks (LANs) in campus settings are dynamic and complex, making them challenging to secure and manage. By leveraging the FortiGate Next Generation Firewall as a LAN controller, IT can simplify their work load by consolidating functions into a single management interface that converges both networking and security.

Extending corporate network access to remote workers can put a heavy burden on IT who must manage many remote sites that they have no control over. By deploying FortiAPs as remote APs, the same secure network that employees are used to in the office can be extended to their home.
