Diagram depicting Fortinet's Universal Zero Trust Network Access architecture. The Universal ZTNA architecture connects users from wherever they are (including campus, branch, and remote locations) to wherever the application is (including cloud service providers, SaaS apps, and data centers). These connections go through the ZTNA application gateway, which verifies user and device identity and posture checks prior to access.

Fortinet brings Universal ZTNA to the Fortinet Security Fabric

Our unique approach, delivering Universal ZTNA as part of our FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW), makes it uniquely flexible, covering users whether they are remote or in the office.
