Take Control of Your Security Infrastructure
The FortiManager family delivers the versatility you need to effectively manage your 
Fortinet-based security infrastructure. FortiManager drastically reduces management 
costs, simplifies configuration, and accelerates deployment cycles, whether you are 
deploying new devices, installing security policies, or distributing updates.
FortiManager also provides crucial timesaving features like device auto-discovery, group 
management, global policies, auditing facilities, and the ability to manage complex 
VPN environments. FortiManager, coupled with the FortiAnalyzer™ family of centralized 
logging and reporting appliances, provides a comprehensive and powerful centralized 
management solution for your organization.
Fortinet’s Versatile 
Management Solution
Networks are constantly evolving due 
to threats, organizational growth or 
new regulatory/business requirements. 
Traditional management products focus 
on mitigating company-wide threats 
through firewall policies, firmware 
updates and keeping content security 
current.
FortiManager offers enterprise class 
features to contain these threats, but 
also provides flexibility to evolve along 
with your ever-changing network. 
In addition to being able to manage 
hundreds or even thousands of FortiGate 
devices, FortiManager now includes 
basic FortiAnalyzer logging and reporting 
functions for administrators who prefer a 
consolidated management platform.
Key tenets of Fortinet’s management 
versatility:
•  Diversity of form factors
•  Architectural flexibility
•  Highly customizable
•  Simple licensing
