Sophisticated Linux Implant Discovered Compromising Fortinet Network Security

I've had to use some of their SSL-VPN and SD-WAN solutions.

Perhaps select areas of their engineering and business were exemplary and pristine. You don't want anything that touches that to be noticeably shoddy.

A corporate VPN is a "You Had One Job..." situation, and it's very hard job to do sufficiently well.

Fortios cli is a nightmare. Everything feels like it is from scratch. I am saying this having used panos, ios,nxos,junos, aos (arista) and of course desktop os's. Their price/value ratio is solid though.

Hardware story is great, value is good vs competitors, but their story around their software engineering keeps exemplifying poor security and customer notification practices, which isn't great for a security product.
