Many organizations are currently supporting a hybrid workforce, which means most CIOs/CISOs are tasked with the challenge of securing users as they travel between home and office. Providing consistent security to a global hybrid workforce with superior user experience and simplicity requires a single-vendor SASE approach. During this session you’ll learn about:

• Need for Single-Vendor SASE approach
• How customers are approaching the journey to SASE
• Fortinet's unique approach to SASE for hybrid environments

Discover in real-time how our intuitive management interface can give you full visibility and granular controls to secure all users, wherever they are located.

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) has become the leading project for organizations looking to incorporate zero trust practices into their cybersecurity strategy. Providing a better user experience and better security than VPN, what has started as an improved secure remote access solution is turning into a mean of providing consistent application access for all locations. Universal ZTNA captures that concept. This webinar/session will include insights from Fortinet with guest Gartner® Analyst, Nat Smith to demystify the current state of ZTNA and share thoughts on what is next.  

As users continue to work from anywhere, zero trust principles such as continuous verification of all users and devices as they access corporate applications and data become even more important. Kunal Marwah is our VP of Product Management leading the ZTNA and FortiClient solutions and during this session he will demo how easy it is to set up universal ZTNA with Fortinet solutions to access Web, Non-Web and SaaS applications without compromising end user experience. 

Customers of all sorts have been adopting ZTNA to improve their security.  This session will highlight the discoveries that various Fortinet customers have made on their journey with ZTNA, both the pitfalls to avoid and the pleasant surprises.  Rick Basile is the head of our Technical Customer teams for the US and will be sharing the lessons learned when the rubber meets the road.
