What feature does FortiClient provide to ensure secure connections for remote workers?

FortiClient provides a secure VPN client as a key feature to ensure secure connections for remote workers. This VPN client enables users to create encrypted tunnels between their devices and the organization's network, allowing for secure data transmission over the internet. This is crucial for remote workers who may be using unsecured public networks, as it helps protect sensitive information from eavesdropping and potential cyber threats.

The secure VPN capability includes support for various protocols, which enhances flexibility and security based on different remote access needs. Additionally, it helps maintain compliance with corporate security policies, ensuring that remote connections remain protected, and thus, reinforces the overall security posture of the organization.

While other features such as firewall settings, malware scanning tools, and web filtering capabilities are essential for comprehensive endpoint security, they do not primarily focus on establishing secure connections for remote access like the VPN client does. Firewalls manage traffic based on predetermined security rules, malware scanning protects against threats on the endpoint itself, and web filtering controls access to harmful websites, but securing the connection for remote access is specifically what the VPN functionality addresses.
