Business Precise Segmentation Delivers Foundation for Intent-Based Network Security Fortinet introduces business precise segmentation through tagging, delivering the building blocks enterprises need to move towards intent-based network security. Organizations can tag devices, interfaces and objects at the business, entity, and network level and set global policies for automatic enforcement when new objects are created on the network. This level of tagging is foundational to intent-based network security architecture as it enables business precise segmentation, automated management and control of all network elements.
