- Configure core security policies: establish firewall rules, enable security profiles (IPS, antivirus, web filtering, and application control), and set up VPN or SD-WAN policies as needed for your site or branch connections. Validate connectivity with a test traffic flow and monitor logs to confirm proper operation.
- Fine-tune your deployment by creating security zones, enabling logging and alerting, and scheduling regular maintenance windows for firmware updates and policy reviews. Consider integrating FortiManager or FortiAnalyzer for centralized management and analytics as your network grows.
