Key
Features
Auto-Scaling
Customers can automatically scale Fortinet firewalls when traffic surges and then reduce them when traffic normalizes. This reduces the likelihood of network outages.
FortiManager Integration
Alkira and Fortinet are seamlessly integrated. This means your Security Team can manage FortiGate firewalls with the FortiManager platform they know and trust. Spin up new FortiGate virtual firewalls with just a few clicks, and Alkira will take care of the rest.
Auto-Mapping of Zone to Segments
Alkira’s Fortinet integration allows enterprises to extend existing zones on their firewalls into and across clouds. There’s no need for security teams to painstakingly deploy Fortinet firewalls within each cloud provider. Alkira takes existing on-prem security and expands it to multiple clouds.
