FortiManager provides centralized management for FortiGate firewalls across physical and cloud deployments, enabling policy management, firmware updates, multi-tenant administration, and integrated logging with safe upgrade paths.
Deploy FortiManager VM 6.2.3 on AWS EC2 to centrally manage two FortiGate firewalls, with on-demand cloud deployment, VPN connectivity, and firmware upgrade and backup workflows.
Deploy FortiManager vm 7.4.0 in aws with pay as you go or bring your own license, configure instance type and storage, and access the gui.
Manage FortiGate devices with FortiManager's device manager, import configurations, view revisions, and use the built-in CLI for quick troubleshooting, while configuring routes, interfaces, and VPNs.
Discover how FortiManager uses administrative domains (ADOMs) to group devices, share firewall addresses, service objects, VIPs, and security policies, reducing management overhead and improving scalability.
Master FortiManager to import FortiGate policies, manage policy packages and objects, and push synchronized policy updates across cloud and on premises devices while handling conflicts and cleanup.
Manage firmware with FortiManager across cloud and on-prem devices, downgrading from 6.4 to 6.2 to enable global policies, and upgrading the global database and on-prem devices to 6.4.
Learn to create and manage global policies in FortiManager’s global database, organize header and footer rules, assign them to devices, and monitor synchronization with careful code level handling.
Configure FortiManager as a FortiGuard update proxy for FortiGate to download IPS, antivirus, and web filtering updates from Fortinet Distribution Network, minimizing internet exposure.
Enable FortiAnalyzer features in FortiManager to aggregate logs from all firewalls and view them in one console for quick troubleshooting, then configure 4D Analyzer settings and generate customizable reports.
Welcome to the Introduction to FortiManager course. In this course you will learn the basics of deploying and managing FortiManager, the central management suite from Fortinet.
Explore each section of the FortiManager configuration:
Deploying FortiManager VM 6.2.3 in AWS.
Deploying FortiManager VM 7.4.0 in AWS (New July 2023!)
FortiManager software upgrade and downgrade.
Device management where you can add firewalls to you management inventory and configure them remotely and efficiently.
Creating and managing Administrative domains, which is useful for organizations looking to segregate multi tenancy devices.
Creating and managing firewall policies for multiple Fortigate firewalls from a single console.
Leverage shared object database and remote installations for all your security infrastructure.
Manage firmware version on your Fortigate firewalls, and automate upgrades and downgrades including multi-step ones.
Utilize global policies to create common used firewall rules or standard policies to be applied to all (or subset) of Fortigate firewalls. Global policies can also be helpful for regulatory or compliance rules that need be applied to multiple devices at once.
Configure local update server for your Fortigate firewalls, with the ability to roll-back and automate security updates.
Convert FortiManager into FortiAnalyzer for log aggregation and security incidents management.
