, meaning that it receives continual exploit, virus and application signature updates, ensuring immediate 

protection from zero-day cyber threats. FortiGuard Labs is a global team of over 200 threat researchers who continually research the latest 
attacks, and figure out how to neutralize them. Their work results in regular security updates which are downloaded to Fortinet products as 
a FortiGuard subscription service, to provide your network with the latest protection against new and emerging threats.

FortiPrivateCloud 

FortiPrivateCloud is a feature-rich VM software platform similar to FortiCloud, which is designed specifically for MSPs to enable them to 
deploy Cloud Wi-Fi and security management solutions as a managed service upon their own hosted services infrastructure. 

Its multi-tier, multi-tenant capabilities allow MSPs to manage all their customers’ networks through one console, while also extending 
management access to their customers, and enabling different privileges for different users.

Secure Cloud-managed WLAN Summary

Fortinet’s cloud-managed WLAN solution is truly unique. While other vendors require additional security appliances for antivirus, web-filtering 
and intrusion protection, Fortinet provides this functionality as standard from the cloud. This is enforced directly on FortiAP-S series APs 
where it can provide immediate protection at the session level, and avoids complicated traffic flow mapping to external security appliances.

With regular security updates from FortiGuard Labs, a Fortinet cloud-managed WLAN is assured instant protection against the very latest 
cyber-threat with no administrative effort involved. No matter how the cyber-threat landscape evolves, specialized business-centric mobile 
devices, and those of your guests and employees connecting to your network are protected, or rendered harmless.

This unique distributed security model reduces costs and eliminates the complexity of providing wireless LAN security for distributed 
enterprise locations. With FortiCloud providing a single dashboard to unify infrastructure and security management, businesses can enjoy 
unlimited scalability and the convenience of centralized cloud management, without sacrificing enterprise-class security.
