FortiCloud is a hosted security management and log retention service for the FortiGate and FortiWiFi product line. It gives you a centralized reporting, traffic analysis, configuration and log retention tool without the need for additional hardware and software. FortiCloud provides a central web-based management console to manage individual or aggregated FortiGate and FortiWiFi devices. Adding a device to the FortiCloud management subscription is straightforward; FortiCloud provides detailed traffic and application visibility across the whole network.
Log retention is an integral part of any security and compliance program, but administering a separate storage system is burdensome. FortiCloud takes care of this automatically and stores the valuable log information in the cloud. Network availability is critical to a good end-user experience. FortiCloud enables you to monitor your FortiGate and FortiWiFi network in real-time with different alerting mechanisms to pinpoint potential issues. Alerting mechanisms can be delivered via email.
Reporting and analysis are your eyes and ears into your network's health and security. Pre-configured reports are available, as well as custom reports that can be tailored to your specific reporting and compliance requirements. For example, you may want to look closely at application usage or web site violations. The reports can be emailed as PDFs and can cover different time periods. The correct configuration of the devices within your network is essential to maintaining an optimum performance and security posture. In addition, maintaining the correct firmware level allows you to take advantage of the latest features.
