FortiCloud simplifies provisioning of access points and other Fortinet security devices at remote sites where there is no on-site IT expertise.
FortiAP-S series access points include FortiCloud registration functionality in their firmware, which enables zero-touch provisioning. When
installed, the APs will discover and connect to FortiCloud and provision themselves, automatically.
From Rogue AP detection to guest access management to application usage reporting and threat analysis, FortiCloud gives you everything
you need to manage the Wi-Fi access points and the complete security landscape at any remote location, while maintaining full visibility of
wireless health and the quality of experience for clients.
