FortiSwitch managed network switches are intuitively able to automatically adjust to ensure peak performance within your network. Ethernet switching from Fortinet works directly with our FortiGate to create a secure, simple-to-manage architecture with a single point of management and configuration. Fortinet allows you to secure your full network without costly and complex licensing schemes.
Watch Now
FortiSwitch managed switches deliver the intelligent scalability you need to keep your growing business moving with minimal oversight. Just plug in a device and let FortiSwitch do the work to understand the device’s needs and how best to operate and secure the network.
Tightly integrated into the Fortinet Security Fabric, FortiSwitch can be managed directly from the cloud-based FortiGate NGFW interface, FortiGate Cloud, or through FortiLAN Cloud without a FortiGate. This helps maintain consistency and reduce troubleshooting. Gain complete visibility and control of users and devices on the network regardless of how they connect.

Fortinet recognized a Leader in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure
Moor Insights & Strategy believes Fortinet is well positioned to deliver robust networking and security at scale cross-domain as a market innovator and leader. The combination of Fortinet’s FortiOS, next-generation firewalls (NGFWs), network access points (APs), and switches, all of which can be managed through a single fabric and management console with robust security features, is compelling.
Looking for these elements of built in intelligence in the systems they deploy can help IT teams deal with Digital Acceleration.
Services and capabilities at the branch continue to expand with rapid adoption of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, Softwareas- a-Service (SaaS) applications, and voice/video tools.
The local area network edge (LAN edge) is one of the most challenging vectors to secure. There are a multitude of different users and devices that connect, plus copious amounts of data that all need to be protected. Add to that the growing number of inherently unsecure devices accessing the network as Internet-of-Things (IoT) deployments rise, and an enticing opportunity for attackers is created.
Secure SD-Branch consolidates the access layer within a secure platform that provides visibility and security to the network and all devices that connect to it.
Introducing FortiSwitch 600 and 2000—expanding Fortinet’s secure, simplified, and scalable switching portfolio. These latest additions to our secure connectivity platform provide intelligent, scalable connectivity with seamless AI-powered security integrations to the modern campus.

Plus, join our experts to get the details of our LAN Edge portfolio, and to take a deep dive into the 2021 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Enterprise Wired & Wireless LAN Infrastructure, and learn how we use AI and ML to deliver better networking.
Many SD-Branch solutions focus on consolidation and ease of management (both important characteristics), but the dependability of a branch’s network is directly related to its security. This means reliable security must be a top consideration of SD-Branch deployments.
Solving the top challenges facing enterprises today
In this paper, we’ll explain how network performance is impacted by whether or not certain security controls are in place.
With a secure connectivity approach, key networking and security components are fully integrated and managed via one operating system, ensuring end-to-end consistency and visibility. Many networking vendors falsely claim they can do this, so knowing what to look for is important.
For digital acceleration to succeed, networks must do more than they did in the past, which can increase risk
