Centralized Identity and Access Management Solution
Network and Internet access is key for almost every role within the enterprise; however, this requirement must be balanced with the risk that it brings. The key objective of every enterprise is to provide secure but controlled network access enabling the right person the right access at the right time, without compromising on security.
FortiAuthenticator is a scalable Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution that enhances security and simplifies authentication for enterprises. Available as a physical or virtual appliance for private and public cloud deployments, it provides robust services such as RADIUSTACACS+ service, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Passwordless Authentication, Adaptive Authentication (AA), Single Sign-On (SSO), Identity Provider (IdP), and IdP Proxy, System for Cross Identity Management (SCIM), Fortinet Single Sign-On (FSSO), and Certificate Authority.
FortiAuthenticator integrates seamlessly with remote on-prem and cloud directories, applications, and Fortinet's Security Fabric. This entegration ensures secure and streamlined access to business resources and internal and external SaaS applications (e.g., Microsoft 365). Supporting legacy and modern authentication protocols, including FIDO passkeys, FortiAuthenticator employs context-aware, adaptive authentication to grant, challenge, or deny access based on login criteria. Acting as a gatekeeper, it identifies users, queries third-party access permissions, and communicates identity-based policies to FortiGate devices, securing enterprise networks with precision and ease.
Features | Centralized Authentication
FortiAuthenticator streamlines and secures user authentication by acting as a standalone IdP or integrating with both on-premises and cloud identity providers, offering seamless access to systems and applications for users, regardless of location. It supports a wide range of multifactor authentication (MFA) methods, including FortiToken, SMS and email OTP, and FIDO2 for passwordless authentication, delivering a consistent, secure, and unified authentication experience. By centralizing authentication, FortiAuthenticator enhances security across the organization, improves operational efficiency, and reduces the complexity associated with managing multiple disparate authentication systems.
FortiAuthenticator integrates seamlessly with multiple Fortinet products and services, providing identity management and strong authentication across Fortinet's Security Fabric. Additionally, it functions as a fully standalone authentication solution for third-party environments, supporting RADIUS and LDAP authentication and SAML and OAuth/OIDC SSO. This flexibility allows organizations to implement FortiAuthenticator in both Fortinet-centric and heterogeneous IT infrastructures with ease.
Strong User Identity with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
FortiAuthenticator enhances user security by enforcing robust multi-factor authentication (MFA) to secure access to critical resources. It supports a diverse range of MFA methods, including FortiToken Mobile and hardware tokens, SMS and email OTP, client certificate-based authentication, and FIDO2 for passwordless authentication, ensuring flexible and secure user verification across all scenarios.
By combining user identity information with authentication data from FortiToken or FIDO2 services, FortiAuthenticator ensures only authorized individuals gain access, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches. This added layer of security also helps organizations comply with government and business privacy regulations.
