FortiEndpoint is a cloud based EMS solution hosted by Fortinet, built for new deployments. It combines FortiClient Cloud and FortiEDR, offering everything available in FortiClient Cloud with the added ability to deploy and manage FortiEDR collectors.
FortiClient Cloud handles the deployment and version management of collectors. When a deployment is created, a matching EDR collector group is automatically created. Endpoints added to the deployment are also added to this group.
In a standard EDR setup, version control is managed directly in the EDR console. With FortiEndpoint, this is done through the FortiClient installer settings. Collector group configuration stays within FortiClient Cloud, while policy and playbook management continues to be handled through the EDR console.
