A mid-sized professional services firm with a distributed workforce increasingly relies on cloud-based applications like Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and Zoom. Employees frequently work from home or shared spaces, accessing the internet directly with limited protection. The company wants to strengthen security for remote users without deploying complex hardware or VPN solutions.
Remote users connect to the internet without consistent security controls
Limited visibility into user activity and potential threats outside the corporate perimeter
Inability to enforce web filtering or block malicious downloads for remote workers
Manual incident tracking and limited threat response capabilities
Comprehensive threat protection for remote users without VPN complexity
Centralized visibility and logging for security operations
Real-time protection against malicious downloads and risky websites
Rapid deployment with cloud-managed controls and simple onboarding
1.End-user devices use FortiClient or DNS-based redirection to route all internet-bound traffic to the nearest FortiSASE PoP
2.File downloads and web traffic are inspected by FortiSASE’s real-time anti-malware engine
3.Malicious files, such as the EICAR test file, are detected and blocked automatically
4.Users receive a branded, customizable warning page upon attempted access
5.Detailed logs capture user identity, threat type, URL, and time, improving forensic visibility
6.Security events are forwarded to the organization's SIEM or FortiAnalyzer for compliance and threat monitoring
