What Is FortiClient?
FortiClient is a Fortinet Fabric Agent, meaning it operates as an integrated component of the broader Fortinet Security Fabric. It runs on endpoints including Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and Chromebook devices, and feeds real-time telemetry back to the Fabric for centralized visibility and dynamic policy enforcement.
Unlike point solutions that address only VPN or only endpoint protection, FortiClient combines secure remote access, Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), web filtering, vulnerability management, and AI-powered threat prevention into a single modular agent. Organizations can deploy only the capabilities they need today and expand as requirements grow.

Common Use Cases for Enterprise IT Teams
Remote Workforce Security
Provide employees with encrypted, policy-enforced remote access whether they are at home, traveling, or working from branch offices. ZTNA ensures only verified users on compliant devices can reach sensitive applications.
Endpoint Compliance and Posture Management
Automatically identify non-compliant endpoints, trigger remediation actions, and isolate compromised devices before threats spread across the network.
Consolidating Security Toolsets
Replace multiple endpoint agents with a single solution that covers VPN, ZTNA, antivirus, web filtering, and vulnerability management - reducing vendor complexity and management overhead.
Supporting Zero Trust Initiatives
FortiClient provides the endpoint component needed to enforce Zero Trust principles at scale, integrating with FortiGate, FortiAuthenticator, FortiToken, and the broader Security Fabric for a platform-based approach.
K-12 and Education Environments
FortiClient supports Chromebook deployments and integrates with Google Workspace Admin Console for policy-based web filtering that meets CIPA compliance requirements on and off campus.
