Fortinet has been recognized as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure.
The recognition underscores Fortinet’s strength in unifying secure networking with scalable operations for modern enterprises.
What the Gartner Magic Quadrant™ Means
Gartner’s Magic Quadrant evaluates vendors on two criteria: Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision.
A Leader designation signals both reliable market execution and a strong roadmap for the future of enterprise networking.
For readers unfamiliar with the framework, Gartner provides an overview of the methodology here:
Gartner Magic Quadrant methodology.
Why Fortinet Stands Out
- Security-first architecture: Fortinet builds security into wired and wireless LAN from the start via the Fortinet Security Fabric.
- Unified management: Centralized visibility and control across sites and devices streamline operations.
- AI-driven protection: Real-time intelligence from FortiGuard Labs helps guard against evolving threats.
- Scalability: Solutions fit businesses from multi-site SMBs to global enterprises while optimizing total cost of ownership.

What This Means for Enterprises in 2025
Organizations evaluating LAN refreshes or consolidating networking and security stacks are prioritizing:
- Improved cybersecurity posture with reduced attack surface
- Simplified operations through unified platforms and automation
- Support for hybrid work and distributed locations
- Lower total cost of ownership without sacrificing performance
Fortinet’s Leader positioning validates these priorities and indicates strong fit for organizations seeking a secure, integrated wired/wireless LAN.
