ORANGE Business Services, a global network-native digital services company, and Fortinet, a global leader in broad, integrated and automated cybersecurity solutions, are partnering to deliver a disruptive approach to secure access service edge (SASE) by integrating Fortinet's security-driven networking technologies into the Orange telco cloud infrastructure. This reinforces security and networking convergence while optimizing performance regardless of the user's location. Unlike other SASE service delivery offers on the market, this seamless approach — with built-in integration and automation — ensures real-time service updates and an unparalleled user experience.

This next chapter in the Orange-Fortinet partnership, which has also yielded flexible SD-WAN, based on Fortinet secure SD-WAN, provides the foundation for cloud-native transformations at scale for improved business agility and resilience. The result is a fully controlled, end-to-end and globally available SASE solution that bridges the gap between user and application. It delivers a secure and managed service from the Orange telco cloud infrastructure, boosted by cybersecurity expertise and capabilities with Orange cyberdefense.
