Fortinet, Inc. (NASDAQ:FTNT) is a cybersecurity company that provides enterprise-level next-generation firewalls and network security solutions, leveraging artificial intelligence across its cybersecurity products. On February 12, the company announced that it would be showcasing its groundbreaking sovereign SASE solution at the MWC Barcelona 2025. Secure access service edge (SASE) is a cloud-native architecture that integrates network security and connectivity to provide secure access to applications and data for users regardless of their location.

The company is offering service providers a unique opportunity to explore how Fortinet Sovereign SASE enables them to create their own dedicated private SASE service. The Fortinet Sovereign SASE solution is powered by one operating system, FortiOS, along with simple integration. This enables service providers to create dedicated private SASE services so that they can enhance flexibility and control over data. Those who have already invested in Fortinet Secure SD-WAN can naturally expand into sovereign SASE by tapping on their existing investments and expertise.

“Organizations with strict regional or regulated industry compliance requirements are often faced with the dilemma of having a strong need for improved security posture while also having a significant barrier to adoption for modern SASE architectures. Fortinet’s Sovereign SASE solution takes the compliance guesswork out of adoption and enables service providers to deliver a robust SASE platform and expand from SD-WAN, which includes the latest DEM, network visibility and AI-assisted security capabilities to the customers that need it most.”

-Pete Finalle, Research Manager, Security & Trust at IDC.
