Session 1: Constructing a Secure SD-WAN Architecture 

As organizations transition to a digital business model, corporate networks are stretched thin. The adoption of cloud services, the virtualization of the traditional network, and an increasingly mobile workforce accessing applications in the cloud, their network topologies are being significantly impacted. Plus, organizations require better connections to branch offices to deliver higher-quality network services.

The traditional WAN is struggling to keep up with this digital transformation because it relies on a static infrastructure of devices that simply can’t accommodate shifting and often temporary resource allocation and workloads. In this workshop, participants learn how Secure SD-WAN solves these problems.

Participants who attend this workshop will learn how to:

• Apply software-defined networking (SDN) to software control of wide-area networks in an enterprise environment
• Implement application control and traffic shaping over SD-WAN
• Use FortiManager to enable unified policy across thousands of enterprise branches
• Use SD-WAN Overlay Templates to facilitate SD-WAN deployments
• Configure SD-WAN on a standalone FortiGate
• Configure virtualized products supporting WAN aggregation while gaining hands-on experience

Session 2: Securing the Hybrid Workforce With SASE

With the rise of hybrid work, combined with application migration to cloud and SaaS, organizations must now secure employees who access the network and applications from anywhere. This shift has significantly expanded the attack surface, thereby increasing the complexity of network, application, and resource security. A Secure Access Services Edge (SASE) architecture converges networking and security, enabling secure access and high-performance connectivity to users anywhere. However, many cloud delivered security solutions fail to provide enterprise-grade security to a hybrid workforce. They are also unable to seamlessly integrate with the range of physical and virtual network and security tools deployed at the network edge to deliver consistent security posture and superior user experience everywhere.

FortiSASE delivers both a consistent security posture and an optimal user experience for users working from anywhere. Secure your hybrid workforce by closing security gaps, plus simplify operations. AI-powered secure web gateway (SWG), zero-trust network access (ZTNA), cloud access security broker (CASB), Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS), and secure SD-WAN all run on one OS and can all be managed with a single console.

Participants who attend this workshop will learn how to:

• Achieve Secure Internet Access (SIA) and Secure SaaS Access (SSA) for any user using FortiSASE
• Set up Secure Private Access (SPA) to internal resources using FortiSASE
• Use FortiSASE Universal ZTNA
• View FortiSASE logs and reports
