Fortinet Named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure

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.

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 for 2026

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.
