Insights

Fortinet's recognition in Gartner's SSE report strengthens its competitive position in the growing SASE market.

Fortinet's placement as a Challenger in Gartner's 2025 Magic Quadrant for Security Service Edge (SSE) represents a meaningful industry recognition that validates their strategic direction in the rapidly evolving SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) market. This recognition complements their existing Leader position in the SD-WAN Magic Quadrant, where they've been recognized for four consecutive years with the highest ability to execute.

The SSE market is particularly significant as organizations increasingly adopt cloud-delivered security models to protect remote workforces. Fortinet's FortiSASE platform provides integrated security capabilities including secure web gateway, zero-trust network access, cloud access security broker, firewall-as-a-service, and remote browser isolation � all managed through a unified console.

What stands out technically is Fortinet's architectural approach. Unlike competitors who often cobble together acquired technologies, FortiSASE is built on a single operating system (FortiOS), unified management console, endpoint agent, and centralized data lake. This integrated architecture potentially reduces security gaps and operational complexity, addressing key challenges that security teams face in managing disparate tools.

Their Sovereign SASE offering also targets regulated industries like finance and healthcare that have strict data control requirements � a growing market segment with specific compliance needs. Their investment in building their own global cloud infrastructure rather than relying solely on third parties could provide long-term differentiation in performance and control.

Customer feedback appears positive based on Gartner Peer Insights recognition. While being named a Challenger rather than a Leader indicates room for improvement in either vision or execution compared to market leaders, Fortinet's momentum in this space suggests they're making strategic progress in this critical cybersecurity segment.

Fortinet recognized in 11 Gartner® Magic Quadrant� reports, including for Single-Vendor SASE, SD-WAN, and Security Service Edge, and we believe these recognitions highlight the strength of the Fortinet Security Fabric platform
