Fortinet FortiGate
What is FortiGate
FortiGate next gen firewalls provide one platform for end-to-end security across your entire network, physical, virtual, and cloud deployments.
Why Should You Use the FortiGate Connector?
The FortiGate connector provides visibility into the traffic allowed on your network. You can use this visibility to:
ensure network access is managed per your security policies
ensure all endpoints are appropriately segmented
How Does This Connector Work?
Lucidum executes read-only requests to the FortiOS REST API and ingests only meta-data about the FortiGate device. Lucidum does not retrieve any data stored on your assets.
