Fortinet presents Sovereign SASE on eve of Security Day | The Express Tribune

Fortinet, the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, presented its Sovereign SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) solution on its third Fortinet Security Day on September 16, 2025 in Pakistan.

Through SASE solution, Fortinet demonstrates how organisations can address data residency, privacy and operational requirements without compromising security, user experience or scalability.

Besides, Fortinet’s Sovereign SASE solution enables businesses to securely connect and protect users, applications and data, regardless of location. It aims to guarantee that data resides and is processed within specific geographical boundaries, giving organisations complete control over their sensitive information while respecting their compliance of regional and local regulations.

According to Fortinet spokesperson and Senior Regional Director Shadi Khuffash, SASE is envisaged for a range of industries and is ideal for organisations operating in highly regulated verticals with sensitive data like government, finance and healthcare, or any business that handles classified information and critical infrastructure.

Fortinet Regional Director for Pakistan Saqib Ishfaq commented: “In today’s interconnected global economy, organisations face a growing and constantly evolving array of cybersecurity threats and compliance complexities. At the same time, local data protection regulations create strict requirements around data governance that organisations in Pakistan must navigate. Fortinet’s Sovereign SASE helps organisations to proactively detect and respond to threats.”
