What is FortiManager?

FortiManager is a centralized management appliance that provides single-pane-of-glass control for Fortinet security devices, such as FortiGate firewalls, FortiAP access points, and FortiSwitch switches. It simplifies network security management by offering features like centralized configuration, policy management, firmware updates, and reporting across the entire Fortinet security fabric. It is commonly used by organizations to reduce administrative overhead, enforce consistent security policies, and gain better visibility into their network security posture.
