Zero Trust Network Access
Achieve reliable and consistent protection and verification at every attack surface and at every endpoint.
Achieve reliable and consistent protection and verification at every attack surface and at every endpoint.
At Liquid Networx, we embrace the Zero Trust Network Access ideological framework which is grounded in the concept of trusting nothing until after it is verified to maintain security. Products like SASE, EDR, EMS, FortiMail, FortiAuthenticator, FortiClient, and FortiNAC utilize Fortinet Zero Trust methodologies as their basis in providing the highest possible security for any threat vector, which is why we work with those products time and again.
FortiFlex is a flexible consumption-based licensing model designed to integrate seamlessly with ZTNA strategies. It allows organizations to dynamically allocate security resources based on ever-changing needs, ensuring cost efficiency and maintaining the highest level of protection. Fortiflex simplifies the adoption of Fortinet’s security tools into a ZTNA framework, allowing the deployment of FortiGate firewalls and FortiClient agents and the use of FortiAuthenticator at scale depending on the current needs of the business security environment.

FortiSASE (Secure Access Service Edge) is Fortinet’s cloud-delivered security solution that integrates networking and security to provide secure, seamless access for remote users and branch offices. It combines technologies like firewall-as-a-service (FWaaS), secure web gateway (SWG), cloud access security broker (CASB), and zero-trust network access (ZTNA) to protect users, devices, and applications regardless of location. FortiSASE helps organizations adhere to ZTNA principles by enforcing least-privilege access, continuously verifying user and device trust before granting access, and inspecting all traffic for threats. This ensures that only authenticated and authorized users can connect to corporate resources, reducing the attack surface and mitigating security risks associated with remote work and cloud adoption.
ZTNA frameworks require continuous monitoring, analytics, and automated threat responses to provide the level of verification and protection they are designed for. Fortinet has a wide selection of Security Operations (SecOps) solutions, which include FortiAnalyzer, FortiSIEM, and FortiSOAR. All of these products are designed to fulfill the ZTNA framework with deep visibility, security analytics, and automated incident response. FortiAnalyzer centralizes log management and security event correlation, providing real-time insights into network access behaviors. FortiSIEM integrates security information and event management, detecting anomalies and policy violations in compliance with a ZTNA architecture. FortiSOAR enables automated workflows to contain and mitigate security incidents, reducing response times and enhancing security efficiency. With these SecOps tools, organizations can strengthen their ZTNA framework and integrate proactive security operations.
The ZTNA application, utilized as part of the Fortinet Security Fabric, takes a client-based approach by launching automatic encrypted tunnels every time a user tries to access an application while leveraging the FortiGate Next Generation Firewall and FortiClient endpoint agent.
Allows all network devices and users to be identified while utilizing dynamic control and automated response network orchestration.
FortiGate, FortiClient, FortiEDR and FortiNAC combine to provide a mesh security fabric that works together, right out of the box, to secure an organization’s infrastructure.
FortiClient is the endpoint agent that administers central visibility and manages control of all endpoints to provide zero-trust security to the resources on any network.
ZTNA from Fortinet leverages FortiAuthenticator and FortiToken to provide maximum security verification for anyone, anywhere on any network.
Tools like FortiEDR, FortiEMS, FortiNAC and FortiGate provide real-time dynamic visibility to all of the data an organization needs in order to make a trust-based access decision about who, what, where and why any user or application can penetrate the network. Trusted data fosters a safer and more secure system.
