Reports in FortiGate Cloud: Reports (PDF link in the footer).

Scope

FortiCloud.

Solution

FortiGate Cloud offers several pre-defined reports, such as the FSBP report.

The report provides an overview of best practices that should be implemented for better security of the FortiGate and the network behind it.

Follow the steps below for the FSPB report to show meaningful information:

1. Log in to FortiGate Cloud.
   
   
2. Use the security rating feature (this depends on the firmware version and the FortiGate model).
   
   
3. A security rating license on FortiGate allows full access to the feature and provides all necessary information to FortiGate Cloud.
   
   

With a firmware version supporting the security rating feature and a license to unlock it fully, the FSBP report provides a thorough overview of FortiGate’s security and network security, comparison to industry averages, highlights areas needing remediation, etc.

Note: FSBP reports for FortiOS 7.6.x are not currently supported.
