What is FortiClient EMS? #
FortiClient Enterprise Management Server (FortiClient EMS) provides scalable and centralized management of endpoints running FortiClient. FortiClient EMS provides visibility across the network to securely share information and assign security profiles to endpoints and includes automated capabilities for device management and troubleshooting.
Why Should You Use the FortiClient EMS Connector? #
The FortiClient EMS connector provides visibility into the assets managed by FortiClient EMS. You can use this visibility to:
-
ensure assets are managed per your security policies
-
monitor each endpoint and its status
-
ensure each asset is running the latest version of the FortiClient software
How Does This Connector Work? #
Lucidum executes read-only requests to the FortiClient EMS REST API and ingests only meta-data about asset. Lucidum does not retrieve any data stored on your assets.
