The concept of the secure access service edge (SASE) is one that many organizations have embraced in recent years. A challenge for some enterprise adopters, however, is a lack of control, as some SASE technologies rely on a vendor managing data in the cloud.
That’s a challenge Fortinet is now aiming to solve with the latest updates to its Unified SASE portfolio, announced this week. The network security vendor unveiled a sovereign SASE technology that it says will provide organizations with more control than a typical SASE deployment. Fortinet is also jumping on the generative AI bandwagon with enhancements to its FortiAI technology, which is getting updated to help manage and orchestrate SD-WAN infrastructure.
