How does FortiGate contribute to compliance with regulatory standards?

FortiGate contributes to compliance with regulatory standards primarily by enabling secure data handling and reporting features. Regulatory frameworks often require organizations to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive data. FortiGate firewalls provide robust security measures, including encryption, access controls, and real-time monitoring, which help maintain the security posture necessary for compliance.

These features allow organizations to manage their network traffic securely, monitor for unauthorized access, and generate reports that can demonstrate compliance with various regulations such as GDPR, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA. The ability to log activities and produce audits is crucial for demonstrating adherence to security standards and reporting to regulatory bodies.

In contrast, while the other options may provide value in their own right, they do not directly address the compliance aspect in the way that secure data handling and reporting capabilities do. Cybersecurity training can enhance employee awareness but does not ensure data security by itself. Tools for network design are essential for creating a secure architecture but do not directly address regulatory requirements. Managing user permissions and roles is important for internal security but does not encompass the broader data handling and reporting needed for compliance.
