Fortinet FortiOS 5.6

The latest update to the Fortinet operating system, unveiled in April, added key capabilities around cloud security, including a new cloud access security broker solution, public cloud integrations, and SD-WAN capabilities. More specifically, the update included extending the FortiGate capabilities with performance to meet public and private cloud needs, availability on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace and extended capabilities with AWS, the launch of FortiCASB, and new SD-WAN features and functionality for the operating system. Fortinet said the updates are part of a recognition by the company that customers want a single set of security offerings to secure their data both on-premises and as they move into public and private cloud environments.
