Introduction
This guide provides information about the FortiCloud service.

Overview of FortiCloud
FortiCloud is a hosted security and wireless infrastructure management solution and log retention service for
FortiGate and FortiWiFi devices.
It gives you centralized reporting, traffic analysis, configuration management, and log retention without the need
for additional hardware and software, with the following feature set:
l

- Simple provisioning of large scale security networks

- Configuration and device management from a single pane of glass

- Hosted log retention and cloud-based storage

- Built-in protection from APTs with FortiGuard sandboxing technology

- Instant security intelligence and analytics with FortiView

- Exceptional network visibility with FortiCloud reporting

- FortiCloud transport security and service availability

FortiCloud also integrates these other Fortinet services: FortiCloud Sandboxing, and FortiDeploy.

FortiCloud Sandboxing
FortiCloud Sandboxing is a service that uploads and analyzes files marked as suspicious by the FortiGate
AntiVirus.
In a proxy-based antivirus profile on a FortiGate, the administrator selects Inspect Suspicious Files with
FortiGuard Analytics to enable a FortiGate unit to upload suspicious files to FortiGuard for analysis. Once
uploaded, the file will be executed and the resulting behavior analyzed for risk. If the file exhibits risky behavior or
is found to contain a virus, a new virus signature is created and added to the FortiGuard antivirus signature
database. The next time the FortiGate unit updates its antivirus database it will have the new signature.
FortiGuard Labs considers a file suspicious if it exhibits some unusual behavior, yet does not contain a known
virus (the behaviors that FortiCloud Analytics considers suspicious will change depending on the current threat
climate and other factors).
The FortiCloud console enables administrators to view the status of any suspicious files uploaded: Pending,
Clean, Malware, or Unknown. The console also provides data on time, user, and location of the infected file for
forensic analysis. Sandboxing is available in both Free and Paid FortiCloud subscriptions.

Introduction

Overview of FortiCloud

FortiDeploy
FortiDeploy is a product built into FortiCloud as a feature, for one-touch provisioning when devices are
deployed, locally or remotely. FortiDeploy provides deployment for FortiAPs into a Cloud AP Network, and
automatic connection of FortiGates to be managed by FortiCloud or a FortiManager unit.
At time of purchase, you can order a FortiDeploy SKU in addition to your FortiCloud subscription.
When you visit forticloud.com and enter the Bulk FortiCloud Key, you will see a list of serial numbers from the
order that contained the FortiDeploy SKU. Once you confirm that the devices are connected, you can perform
basic configuration on the devices remotely, such as sending a FortiManager IP to all remote FortiGate devices,
so they can be managed remotely.
FortiDeploy Support starts the moment you send an email to cs@fortinet.com, which can also be contacted if you
have already purchased a FortiCloud subscription and would like to purchase FortiDeploy to add to your existing
subscription.
