Fortinet announced the FortiLink SASE Service on October 27, 2026, extending its cloud-delivered security offering to small branch offices and other distributed locations without requiring a dedicated on-site firewall.
Key Takeaways
- The service connects local networks to FortiSASE through supported Fortinet access points and Ethernet switches.
- Fortinet did not specify pricing or an availability date in its announcement.
How the FortiLink SASE Service works
The service is designed to protect wired and wireless devices across a local network while allowing organizations to manage supported networking equipment and security policies from one console.
Fortinet said traffic inspection and policy enforcement are centralized through FortiSASE. The approach does not require a FortiGate firewall at each location or an endpoint security agent on every device.
Where Fortinet expects it to help
The company identified small branches, remote facilities and temporary sites as potential users. Those locations can have limited on-site IT resources and a mix of employee devices, printers, cameras and Internet of Things equipment.
Some of those devices cannot run traditional endpoint security agents. Connecting the local network through supported Fortinet equipment is intended to extend cloud-delivered protection to them as well.
