Fortinet Security Fabric

Security Fabric
The Security Fabric delivers broad visibility, integrated AI-driven
breach prevention, and automated operations, orchestration, and
response across all Fortinet and its ecosystem deployments. It
allows security to dynamically expand and adapt as more and more
workloads and data are added. Security seamlessly follows and
protects data, users, and applications as they move between IoT,
devices, and cloud environments throughout the network. All this
is tied together under a single pane of glass management to deliver
leading security capabilities across your entire environment while
also significantly reducing complexity.

FortiGates are the foundation of Security Fabric, expanding security

via visibility and control by tightly integrating with other Fortinet
security products and Fabric-Ready Partner solutions.

Licensing
With a multitude of deployment methods supported across various private and public cloud deployments, FortiGate-VM for Microsoft Azure
supports both on-demand (PAYG) and bring-your-own-license (BYOL) licensing models.

On-demand licensing is a highly flexible option for both initial deployments and growing them as needed. With a wide selection of supported
instance types, there is a solution for every use case. This license offers FortiOS with a UTM bundle.

BYOL is ideal for migration use cases, where an existing private cloud deployment is migrated to a public cloud deployment. When using an
existing license, the only additional cost would be the price for the Microsoft Azure instances.

FortiGate-VM can also be deployed in regional Azure such as Azure Government, Germany, and China.
AzureStack is also supported (BYOL only).
