Fortinet Always On VPN and AutoConnect are designed to provide seamless and secure remote access to your network. This technology allows users to stay connected to the corporate network even when their device is not actively being used.
Always On VPN ensures that a secure connection is maintained at all times, even when the user is not actively browsing the internet or using company resources. This means that sensitive data is always protected from unauthorized access.
AutoConnect is a feature that automatically establishes a VPN connection when a user's device is connected to a Fortinet network. This eliminates the need for users to manually establish a VPN connection each time they connect to the network.
With Fortinet Always On VPN and AutoConnect, users can enjoy uninterrupted access to company resources and data, while also benefiting from enhanced security and protection.
