FortiSASE – Secure cloud-based cybersecurity for the mobile worker

Cloud-based network security that protects every office user, no matter their connection location. 

As hybrid work becomes the new standard, organisations across New Zealand face the challenge of securing users wherever they connect, from the office, home, or overseas. Fortinet FortiSASE delivers a unified, cloud-based security architecture that protects users, data, and applications with consistent policies and visibility across all edges.

Nextro brings Fortinet’s global Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) capability to the New Zealand market, enabling enterprises to adopt scalable, AI-driven cloud security through Nextro’s local expertise and seamless integration with existing Fortinet deployments.

Office users connecting from outside of the office are automatically routed through the nearest Fortinet SASE Point of Presence, such as Auckland, Sydney, or Singapore, ensuring secure remote access and consistent policy enforcement before connecting to resources in New Zealand.

Secure remote access is enabled through the combination of Fortinet’s proven FortiGuard threat intelligence, AI/machine learning-powered protection, and the FortiOS operating system into a single, cloud-delivered service. It unifies security functions, such as Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), and Data Loss Prevention (DLP), with high-performance SD-WAN connectivity for consistent protection anywhere.
