Fabric Architecture Extends SD-WAN Capabilities

Fortinet, a global provider of high-performance network security solutions, today announced the latest feature extensions of its Security Fabric, integrating enhanced SD-WAN capabilities with Fortinet's reliable security features. The FortiOS 5.6 operating system integrates advanced security features with software-defined networking capabilities. This integration helps distributed enterprises simplify their infrastructure, reduce WAN costs, and give their users direct access to public clouds, data centers, and SaaS services to differentiate themselves in the digital economy.
