What You'll Learn:

Workshop: Constructing a Secure SD-WAN Architecture

As businesses rely more on cloud-based applications, organizations with remote offices and distributed workforces must adapt their network infrastructure. Traditional WANs, often using costly MPLS or leased lines, route all traffic through centralized data centers, creating latency, performance bottlenecks, and operational complexity. Managing multiple point products adds to the challenge, increasing visibility gaps and troubleshooting difficulties.

This workshop explores how SD-WAN offers a dynamic, cost-effective alternative to static WAN architecture. Participants will learn how Fortinet’s Secure SD-WAN enhances performance, reduces costs, and integrates security directly into the network. Through centralized management and advanced traffic optimization, organizations can improve cloud application access, streamline operations, and maintain robust security across their distributed environments.

Participants who attend this workshop will learn how to:

  • Configure and deploy SD-WAN using the FortiManager SD-WAN Orchestrator
  • Create and validate SD-WAN performance SLAs and rules
  • Implement and verify the ADVPN solution
  • Test and validate SLA and WAN link failure scenarios

Workshop: Securing the Hybrid Workforce with SASE

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.
