Fortinet, the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, today announced a major expansion of FortiCloud, its global cloud infrastructure. The latest release introduces FortiIdentity, designed for cloud-delivered identity management for hybrid teams, and two new beta services, FortiDrive and FortiConnect, to provide enterprise-grade secure storage and protected communications. Each service is tightly integrated into the Fortinet Security Fabric, giving organizations security-native alternatives to point products often dependent on bolt-on security.
“FortiIdentity, FortiDrive, and FortiConnect are key milestones in our vision to build a unified global cloud network that brings enterprise-grade security directly into the way teams manage access, store, share, and communicate. These new services extend the power of the Fortinet Security Fabric into everyday productivity and access control, reinforcing our strategy to simplify security operations, reduce vendor sprawl, and empower hybrid work at scale,” said Michael Xie, Founder, President, and Chief Technology Officer at Fortinet.
Integrated innovation backed by global infrastructure
This announcement builds on Fortinet’s continued investment in its global hybrid-cloud infrastructure, including company-owned data centers in Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Plano, Frankfurt, Sydney, and Torija (Spain). These facilities are strategically designed to deliver low-latency services and support regional demand, combining compute, storage and recovery, and security capabilities. Fortinet also addresses growing data sovereignty requirements by enabling organizations to keep data local through its globally distributed infrastructure.
Complementing these investments, Fortinet leverages more than 160 points of presence (POPs) through providers like Google Cloud, AWS, and Digital Realty to ensure secure, high-performance delivery of edge services. Fortinet also delivers a broad range of offerings across cloud marketplaces including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, enabling organizations to benefit from greater service resiliency, geographic flexibility, and seamless access to Fortinet’s cloud-delivered cybersecurity solutions wherever they operate.
FortiCloud: Security-native services for the modern enterprise
With this expansion, Fortinet furthers its strategy of delivering a unified platform that enables organizations to consolidate tools, strengthen cybersecurity posture, and reduce total cost of ownership. The growing FortiCloud service portfolio now includes three new security-native services designed for today’s hybrid workforce:
- FortiIdentity: A long-established Fortinet identity and access management (IAM) solution, now delivered from FortiCloud, offering enterprises a cloud-native approach to secure identity management. It provides secure single sign-on (SSO), multifactor authentication (MFA), FIDO2 passkeys, and identity federation across Fortinet and third-party applications. With support for FortiToken Mobile and SAML/OIDC standards, FortiIdentity simplifies administration and scales easily to meet enterprise and managed security service provider (MSSP) requirements. The addition of FortiPAM-as-a-Service strengthens zero-trust network access (ZTNA) checks to protect privileged access to IT environments.
- FortiDrive: A secure file storage and collaboration solution that protects sensitive data at rest and in transit. With advanced encryption and granular access controls, FortiDrive enables teams to store and manage content safely. Real-time collaboration allows users to co-edit and share files, while version history ensures easy rollback of changes. Site management features help organize content by team or project, with policy-based compliance enforcement built on role-based access control and least-privilege principles.
- FortiConnect: A unified communication platform that integrates with FortiDrive, enabling secure calling, messaging, meetings, and file sharing from anywhere. Backed by FortiGuard Labs AI-powered threat intelligence, it ensures collaboration remains protected against evolving cyberthreats.
All three services are integrated into the Fortinet Security Fabric, providing centralized visibility, consistent policy enforcement, and real-time threat protection across users, devices, applications, data, and AI agents.
Continued global investment
Fortinet’s ongoing investment in global cloud infrastructure strengthens its platform strategy and commitment to delivering security with the best application experience possible. In addition to new POPs, Fortinet’s hybrid-cloud model allows customers to access a growing range of services—including FortiSASE, FortiAppSec, FortiCNAPP, FortiSOC, FortiMail, and FortiAIOps—through the FortiCloud centralized portal.
Delivering unified, scalable security through the FortiCloud platform
These new services delivered via FortiCloud reflect Fortinet’s commitment to simplifying and securing hybrid operations with a unified, cloud-native platform. With centralized policy enforcement and AI-powered threat intelligence, FortiCloud empowers organizations to optimize costs, improve visibility, and protect data and users across distributed environments. Whether securing access, applications, or infrastructure, Fortinet continues to drive transformation by making enterprise cloud security simpler, more cost-effective, and natively integrated.
