Posted by Bangalore: Global cybersecurity major Fortinet has announced a major expansion of its global cloud infrastructure FortiCloud with three new security-native services covering identity, storage and communication.
With the expansion of FortiCloud, Fortinet has further strengthened its Fortinet Security Fabric offering for enterprises.
The latest expansion of FortiCloud with three new security-native services includes FortiIdentity – a cloud delivered identity management for hybrid teams, and two new beta services FortiDrive and FortiConnect that provide enterprise-grade secure storage and protected communications.
The company said that all three services are tightly integrated into the Fortinet Security Fabric, giving organisations security-native alternatives to point products often dependent on bolt-on security.
“FortiIdentity, FortiDrive, and FortiConnect, are key milestones in our vision to build a unified global cloud network that brings enterprise-grade security directly into the way teams manage access, store, share, and communicate,” said – Michael Xie, Founder, President, and CTO – Fortinet.
“These new services extend the power of the Fortinet Security Fabric into everyday productivity and access control, reinforcing our strategy to simplify security operations, reduce vendor sprawl, and empower hybrid work at scale,” added Xie.
Integrated Innovation Backed by Global Infrastructure
This announcement builds on Fortinet’s continued investment in its global hybrid-cloud infrastructure, including company-owned data centres in Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Plano, Frankfurt, Sydney, and Torija (Spain).
These facilities are strategically designed to deliver low-latency services and support regional demand, combining compute, storage and recovery, and security capabilities. Fortinet also addresses growing data sovereignty requirements by enabling organisations to keep data local through its globally distributed infrastructure.
Complementing these investments, Fortinet leverages over 160 points of presence (POPs) through providers like Google Cloud, AWS, and Digital Realty to ensure secure, high-performance delivery of edge services.
Fortinet also delivers a broad range of services made available across cloud marketplaces that include AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, enabling organisations to benefit from greater service resiliency, geographic flexibility, and seamless access to Fortinet’s cloud-delivered security offerings wherever they operate.
