FortiClient EMS
What is FortiClient EMS?
FortiClient Enterprise Management Server (FortiClient EMS) is a security management solution that enables centralized management of multiple endpoints (computers). FortiClient EMS provides administration of endpoints running FortiClient.
Why Should You Use the FortiClient EMS Connector?
The FortiClient EMS connector provides visibility into the assets managed by FortiClient EMS. You can use this visibility to:
ensure assets are managed per your security policies
monitor each endpoint and its status
ensure each asset is running the latest version of the FortiClient software
How Does This Connector Work?
Lucidum executes read-only requests to the FortiClient EMS REST API and ingests only meta-data about asset. Lucidum does not retrieve any data stored on your assets.
