Protect your connected devices for free
FortiClient is a free security and privacy program that enables you to heighten your endpoint protection. Developed by Fortinet, this software is an integrated platform that provides you with automated next-generation features on threat protection and visibility and control of your whole security system. You can easily keep an eye on suspicious activity that may take advantage of any weak links in your networks—and prevent your phones, tablets, computers, and other connected devices from being exploited. FortiClient received the “Recommended” rating from NSS Labs after passing the 2019 NSS Labs 2019 Advanced Endpoint Test with flying colors.
Your connection may be vulnerable
Endpoint protection is an approach to the protection of computer networks that are remotely bridged to client devices. The connection of laptops, tablets, mobile phones and other wireless devices to corporate networks actually creates attack paths for security threats. This is what endpoint protection aims to guard, ensuring that your devices follow a definite level of compliance to the standards set. FortiClient is one such endpoint protection program and offers secure features for you to make use of.
For one, it integrates endpoints into Fortinet Security Fabric, allowing for early detection and prevention of advanced threats. Various events will be reported in real-time, like botnet and malware detections. This also allows you to set policies to automatically quarantine suspicious or compromised endpoints and investigate them. The security fabric system FortiClient makes use of has automated processes that you can find in Fortinet and FortiAnalyzer. The program’s Vulnerability Management solution helps you detect any operating system and third-party application vulnerabilities in real-time.
You can also connect to FortiSandbox Cloud and use its behavior-based analysis on all downloaded files through the endpoints you have to check if you’re up-to-date with the latest online threats. Overall, FortiClient’s automated features makes the program easy to set up and use. It’s basically a VPN, a firewall, and an antivirus program in one neat package. There are some issues with installing updates but all in all, it’s a highly recommended software.
