FortiClient is the component that is responsible for enforcing protection and checking security posture on the endpoints. FortiClient provides features such as antivirus, web filtering, firewall, vulnerability scan, and VPN. FortiClient EMS is the management server that centrally configures and monitors FortiClient endpoints. FortiClient EMS tags are used to group endpoints based on criteria such as OS, IP address, or domain. FortiClient vulnerability scan is a feature that detects and fixes security issues on the endpoints.  References  :=

FortiClient EMS

Compliance with EMS and FortiOS

Block Malicious Website has nothing to do with infected files. Since Realtime Protection is OFF, it will be allowed without being scanned.

Licenses are shared among sites: In multi-tenancy mode, licenses can be shared among the different tenant accounts or sites within FortiClient EMS. This means that a pool of licenses can be allocated and utilized across multiple sites or deployments as needed. It helps optimize license utilization and reduces the need for individual licenses for each site or customer.

It provides granular access and segmentation: Multi-tenancy mode allows for the creation of separate tenant accounts or groups within FortiClient EMS. Each tenant can have their own set of policies, configurations, and access rights, providing granular control and segmentation. This enables organizations to manage multiple sites or customer deployments separately within a single FortiClient EMS instance.

FortiClient EMS is the component that shares ZTNA tag information through Security Fabric integration. ZTNA tags are synchronized from FortiClient EMS as inputs for the FortiGate application gateway. They can be used in ZTNA policies as security posture checks to ensure certain security criteria are met. FortiClient EMS can share ZTNA tags across multiple devices in the Fabric, such as FortiGate, FortiManager, and FortiAnalyzer. FortiClient EMS can also share ZTNA tags across multiple VDOMs on the same FortiGate device.  FortiClient EMS can be configured to control the ZTNA tag sharing behavior in the Fabric Devices settings 1 .

FortiGate is the device that enforces ZTNA policies using ZTNA tags. FortiGate can receive ZTNA tags from FortiClient EMS via Fabric Connector. FortiGate can also publish ZTNA services through the ZTNA portal, which allows users to access applications without installing FortiClient.  FortiGate can also provide ZTNA inline CASB for SaaS application access control 2 .

FortiGate Access Proxy is a feature that enables FortiGate to act as a proxy for ZTNA traffic. FortiGate Access Proxy can be deployed in front of the application servers to provide ZTNA protection. FortiGate Access Proxy can also be deployed behind the appli cation servers to provide ZTNA visibility.  FortiGate Access Proxy can use ZTNA tags to identify and authenticate users and devices 2 .

FortiClient is the endpoint software that connects to ZTNA services. FortiClient can register ZTNA tags with FortiClient EMS based on the endpoint security posture. FortiClient can also use ZTNA tags to access ZTNA services published by FortiGate.  FortiClient can also use ZTNA tags to access SaaS applications with ZTNA inline CASB 2 .

Technical Tip: Behavior of ZTNA Tags shared across multiple vdoms or multiple FortiGate firewalls in the Security Fabric connected to the same FortiClient EMS Server

Synchronizing FortiClient ZTNA tags

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) to Control Application Access

Training policy because:

- Policy is enabled

- Priority is better than Default Policy

FortiClient communicates directly with FortiClient EMS to continuously share device status information through ZTNA telemetry.
