Question: I'm looking for a networking solution that provides secure access for all users, devices, and applications across the network.

If you need a full networking package that offers secure connections for users, devices and applications, Fortinet is a strong contender with its unified cybersecurity platform. Fortinet's security and networking products span all edges, users and devices with next-gen firewalls, secure SD-WAN and zero-trust network access. With its FortiOS operating system and tools like FortiAnalyzer and FortiClient, Fortinet offers centralized management and strong endpoint protection.

Another strong contender is Cato, which offers a cloud-native SASE solution. Cato's SD-WAN, security and global backbone services are built into one platform for secure and optimized network access. Its features include AI/ML models for threat hunting and incident detection, a global private backbone for high uptime, and a single pane of glass management application. That makes it a good fit for companies in the middle of network modernization and that need better security for hybrid workforces.

For AI-infused networking products, HPE Aruba Networking offers secure, high-performance connections to the edge, campus, data center and cloud. The portfolio includes unified SASE, AI-driven insights and policy-based automation. With flexible deployment options and easy-to-understand subscription plans, HPE Aruba is helping customers with digital transformation projects and providing tools to address a range of networking and security challenges.

Last, Juniper Networks is worth a look for an end-to-end AIOps solution that improves network reliability and security. Its AI-Native Networking Platform includes real-time threat prevention and zero-trust data center architectures to improve user experiences and lower operational costs. Juniper's AI-Driven SD-WAN also includes features like Session Smart Routing and Juniper Mist WAN Assurance for secure and reliable cloud connections.
